Description of the problem:
I am trying to sync my experiment from builder in Psychopy to Pavlovia, but receive the following error:

Apologies, this is my first time using Psychopy with Pavlovia and I am very new to this!

Maybe this could work: remove a folder named “.git” inside your experiment and sync again. PsychoPy will ask you to create new project.

Thank you for your response. However, I can’t seem to find a folder named ‘.git’ inside the experiment folder?

You need to view hidden files. Alternatively you could copy the psyexp file and your images, spreadsheets, etc. to a new folder, test locally and try to sync again when the Pavlovia server is back up.

Thank you for your response. I have moved the files into a new folder and run on Psychopy. I now get this error:

I think it’s best to avoid the Desktop as well as cloud storage folders.

Best wishes

I have moved the folder to downloads and received the following error:
