    Can you try uploading the pictures directly without having to include mobile phone as an image uploader?

    I recently tried using mobile phone and it worked just fine.

    Hi.
    They don’t seem to care about this problem. I have already tried downloading my passport dozens of times from different smartphones and browsers. And always have a error - “Connection lost Please try again”

    It seems to have something to do with their crooked settings on Cloudflare …

The fix to this , from your mobile use a mobile data connection and a vpn app like (free hotspot shield) and put it on.. then open verification link sent through sms to you and it will accept uploading the images you take .

Hi there @ZiadMostafa,

In our public community, we aim to answer open questions about anything SysAdmin, DigitalOcean and beyond. However, we make every attempt to keep personal information safe and so don’t ever access personal account information here. This means we can’t provide help with any account or billing-related issues.

Do you have a ticket number from when you contacted our support/abuse team so that I can get this followed up for you?

Hope that helps!
- Matt.

Still having the same issue in October 2020; here’s how I got around it:

1) Turn off wi-fi and switch to mobile data.
2) Use a VPN e.g. Nord or Express VPN. Someone mentioned free hotspot shield.
3) Copy the link to the page where you upload the front of your DL or passport and email it to yourself. Open the link on your desktop.
4) Send a secure link back to your phone via SMS.
5) Open the link on your phone and upload the photos.
6) Complete the process on your desktop by clicking submit.

Hope this helps someone!

Best,
Dan
