My flow "failed to connect"

Hey everyone,
had the exact same problem everyone described. So i decided to try one last time, and now it worked.
What I did was on my PC in Options for Flow to just disconnect my PC from Flow. Afterwards I started Flow up again and tried to connect my phone and then it suddenly worked. Don't know why but I hope you guys might fix it the same way and Opera can fix it to begin with.

@rassnul Oddly enough, now it worked for me as well. After pressing "Disconnect" the "My Flow" tab started flashing again, but stopped after it reloaded itself 3-4 times. Not sure if scrolling the "My Flow" tab to the bottom with the mouse wheel had anything to do with it. Then I generated the QR code and scanned it with no error.

I'm still having this issue, eight months (!) later. Where are you both pressing "Disconnect"? There is neither a disconnect button in the desktop app nor in the android app. I can only deactivate "The Flow" feature but this does not fix the problem.

@m4ssacre It's in the My Flow sidebar. Press the cog icon and you should get a list of connected devices, along with the Disconnect button.

Opera for Windows 57.0.3098.116
Opera for Mac 58.0.3135.53
Opera Touch for iOS 1.4.0
Minneapolis, Minnesota, USARunning the latest version of Opera for Windows, Mac OS, and iOS (one iPhone and one iPad, and none of them can connect without doing an emergency reset, which means I have to reconnect all of my devices. The connection always works the first time, but never the second time, on either the Mac or the Win machine. This feature is seriously borked, and I was hoping to replace Apple's iCloud service since I don't like using Safari and I can't run Safari on Windows. Looking at the posts on here, there doesn't seem to be any fix available so I'm just adding my voice to the rest.

@klawchi try turning off the ad blocker in the Opera settings... It worked for me.
Unfortunately for Flow to work it seems the Ad Blocker can't be on at all. But that's ok download another ad blocker extension.

@zarespx go to the Opera desktop web browser (on computer)
Click on My flow triangle icon (pop up panel is shown)
Click on My flow settings icon (gear on pop up panel)
You will see list of devices (or one device)
Disconnect all of them. If it marked as (This device) disconnect it too.Press "Connect a phone" button (or something like that)

@oleksa i'd love to do that but look at my situation :
I don't have any device connected and when i try to connect one, it says "flow failed to connect" (on phone, and on computer nothing happen) :
