Q: I am logged in but still can’t download a resource
A: Many issues with downloads are caused by internet browsers being out of date. Many schools set Internet Explorer as the default browser for the internet. Internet Explorer is an outdated browser that is no longer updated or supported by Microsoft. If you are having an issue downloading a file we first suggest you use another browser and see if this rectifies the problem.
