04 · Troubleshooting

Common access problems

Try the relevant checks below before contacting McPi. Never send your one-time verification code to anyone.

No verification code received

Check Spam/Junk, confirm the email address, wait a few minutes, then request a new code if available.

Code rejected or expired

Use only the latest code. If needed, request a fresh code and enter it promptly.

Wrong Microsoft account opens

Sign out of other Microsoft accounts or use a private/incognito browser window, then try again.

Access denied / no permission

Confirm the registered email, retry in private mode, and contact McPi with a screenshot if the issue continues.

Signed in, but no company appears

Your sign-in may be valid while the client account permission is missing. Contact McPi to check the account assignment.

Upload does not work

Confirm you are not in “From McPi”, retry with a stable connection, use a simple file name, and try another current browser.

When contacting McPi
Provide the registered email, company/account name, the step where the problem occurs, date/time, browser, and an error screenshot. Do not include the verification code.
05 · Frequently Asked Questions

Find a quick answer

Search the questions below or expand the items that match your issue.

Sign-in & verification

1I need more than one user to access the McPi Portal. What should I do?

Contact McPi and provide the email address of each person who needs access. Each user should access the portal with their own registered email address.

2Can two people use the same email address to access the portal?

Use individual user email addresses wherever possible. This makes access clearer and helps identify who is working with documents. Ask McPi to add additional users instead of sharing one user’s access.

3Which email address should I use?

Use the exact email address that you provided to McPi and that McPi registered for portal access. Personal or company email accounts can be used if that is the registered address.

4Do I need a separate McPi Portal password?

In the sign-in flow shown in this guide, access is verified through Microsoft using your registered email address and a one-time verification code. Microsoft may show a different sign-in method for some company accounts or existing Microsoft sessions.

5I did not receive the Microsoft verification code. What should I do?

Check Spam/Junk and search your inbox for the Microsoft verification message. Confirm that you entered the registered email address, wait a few minutes, and request a new code if available. Contact McPi if the code still does not arrive.

6The verification code is not working. What should I do?

Make sure you are entering the latest code received. If a new code was requested, older codes may no longer work. Request a fresh code if needed and enter it promptly.

7How long is the verification code valid?

The example Microsoft email shown in this guide states that the code is valid for 30 minutes. If your code is older or rejected, request a new one.

8Why am I being asked for a code again?

Microsoft may ask you to verify again after your session expires, after browser cookies are cleared, when you use another browser or device, or when Microsoft requires a fresh sign-in.

9I am seeing a different Microsoft sign-in screen from this guide. Is that a problem?

Not necessarily. The screen can vary depending on your email provider, Microsoft account type, browser session, and security settings. Continue using the registered email address. If you receive an access-denied or permission error, contact McPi.

10The portal keeps using the wrong Microsoft account. What should I do?

Sign out of other Microsoft accounts in the browser, or open a private/incognito window and access the portal again using the email address registered with McPi.

11I selected “Cancel” instead of “Accept” on the permission screen. What should I do?

Start the sign-in process again. When Microsoft displays the McPi Solution permission request, review it and select Accept to continue. If the consent screen does not reappear and access still fails, contact McPi.

12I get an “Access denied”, “You do not have permission”, or similar message. What should I do?

Confirm the email address, try a private/incognito window, and sign in again. If the message continues, send a screenshot to McPi so your external-user permission can be checked.

Accounts & portal navigation

13I can sign in, but I do not see any company/account to select. What should I do?

Contact McPi. Your email can be valid for sign-in while the required client account/library permission is still missing or incomplete.

14I can see an account, but it is not the company I expected. What should I do?

Do not upload or download documents from an account you do not recognize. Contact McPi and provide the email address you used and the account name shown on screen.

15I work with more than one company. Can I access multiple companies?

Yes, if McPi has granted your email access to more than one company/account. The portal can show the accounts available to you so you can choose the relevant one.

16How do I switch from one company/account to another?

Return to the portal’s account-selection screen if that option is available, or close the current library and reopen the McPi Portal. If you cannot return to the account list, sign in again and select the required account.

17Why do the folders in my library look different from the screenshot?

Folder names and the number of folders can vary by client/account configuration. Use the folder names available to you and follow any specific document instructions provided by McPi.

18Can I bookmark the portal?

Yes. You may bookmark the McPi website or the portal page you normally use. You will still need to complete Microsoft authentication when required.

19Can I use the portal on another computer or browser?

Generally, yes. Open the portal in a current browser and authenticate with the registered email address. A fresh verification may be required on the new browser or device.

20Can I use the portal on a phone or tablet?

The portal is web-based and may be accessible from a mobile browser, although the layout and document controls can look different. For uploading and managing several documents, a desktop/laptop browser is usually easier.

Uploading & downloading

21Where should I upload documents?

Upload documents to the folder instructed by McPi. Do not upload into the “From McPi” folder.

22What is the “From McPi” folder used for?

It is used for documents provided by McPi to you. Open this folder when you need to view or download files supplied by McPi.

23Can I upload a document into “From McPi”?

No. The “From McPi” folder is for documents provided by McPi. Use the other available folder(s) for your uploads.

24How do I know whether my upload completed?

Wait for the upload process to finish and confirm that the file appears in the target folder. Do not close the browser immediately after selecting the file.

25I uploaded the wrong document. What should I do?

If the portal provides a delete or replace option to you, use it only if you are confident that it is appropriate. Otherwise, contact McPi and identify the incorrect file. Do not assume you have delete rights; permissions can vary.

26Can I rename or delete a file after uploading it?

This depends on the permission granted to your account and the library configuration. If the required option is not available, contact McPi rather than repeatedly uploading copies.

27My upload is failing. What should I try?

Confirm that you are in an upload-enabled folder, retry with a stable internet connection, use a simple file name, and try a current browser. If it continues to fail, send McPi the error screenshot and file name.

28Can I upload multiple files?

If the upload control allows multiple selection, you may select more than one file. For a large set of documents, upload in manageable groups and confirm each group appears correctly.

29Can I upload folders?

Folder upload availability depends on the browser and library configuration. If you do not see a folder-upload option, upload the individual files or ask McPi for the preferred method.

30A file from McPi opens in the browser instead of downloading. What should I do?

Use the browser or SharePoint Download option if available. Some file types open in a preview first; from the preview you may have a separate Download control.

Security, access changes & support

31Can I forward my Microsoft verification code to a colleague?

No. The verification code is part of your sign-in process and should not be shared. Ask McPi to grant the colleague separate access using their own email address.

32Can I forward the portal link to someone else?

The link alone should not grant access, but portal access is intended only for users authorized by McPi. Ask McPi to add the person instead of relying on a forwarded link.

33What should I do if an employee leaves our company or no longer needs access?

Notify McPi promptly and ask for that user’s portal access to be removed or disabled.

34My email address has changed. What should I do?

Contact McPi and provide the old email address and the new email address. Do not assume the new address will automatically inherit the previous portal permissions.

35What should I do if I unexpectedly see another client’s documents or account?

Do not open, download, copy, or upload anything. Stop using the portal and notify McPi immediately with a screenshot of the account/folder name if safe to do so.

36Is it safe to send my verification code to McPi support for troubleshooting?

No. McPi should not need your one-time verification code. Send the email address used, account name, error message, and screenshot instead.

37What information should I provide when reporting a portal problem?

Provide your registered email address, the company/account you are trying to access, the step where the problem occurs, the date/time, the browser you are using, and a screenshot of the error. Never include your verification code.

38Who should I contact for portal access or document questions?

Contact your usual McPi contact or the McPi support contact provided to your organization. They can verify your registered email, account assignment, library permission, or document location.

39I am finished using the portal. Should I sign out?

Yes, especially on a shared or public computer. Close the portal and sign out of the Microsoft session if the device is not exclusively yours.

40The portal worked before but no longer works. What should I do?

Try a fresh sign-in using the registered email, preferably in a private/incognito window. If the account or library is no longer visible, contact McPi so the access assignment can be checked.
