SVG import desn't work? V14
I've exported .SVG from affinity designer with a very light and clean hierarchy. It shows on finder while in thumbnail preview how everything looks, but when I try to import that file into Moho, it uploads single empty vector layer. Solutions? Tried to move the file from SSD to desktop, changing settings. What am I missing?

To get to see the error message you need to enable Debug Info in the settings ☰ hamburger menu.
99.9% of the time it fails because there is a non-english character in the filename or because the file is 16 bit unicode (UTF-16).

I've found the issue. So apparently it is not possible to export with layer effects on? because when I turn them off the project imports successfully, but that's just really sad. All I have is simple outer shadow and inner glow. Is there any workaround if it's not supported then? Or maybe I've missed some setting...

Glad you found the issue.
For effects like that, Affinity (and others) will embed a binary image within the SVG document, and the SVG Importer does not support images within SVGs (so it ignores them).
But - as it is just a binary image anyway, you can export it as PNG from Affinity and then import that.
If you look at the text of the 2 exports that you have, you will see the difference and the encoded image within the first one.
