PsychoPy error syncing experiment online

If this template helps then use it. If not then just delete and start from scratch.

OS (e.g. Win10):
PsychoPy version: 2020.2.5.
Standard Standalone? (y/n) Y
What are you trying to achieve?: Greetings, all! I am new to PsychoPy and have no idea about coding. I was hoping anyone could help me syncing my experiment online. The following error message pops up whenever I try to sync it:

Hi There,

A couple of checks before we move forward:

1.Before syncing it is best to make sure you have created a folder for your experiment (that just contains the relevant .psyexp file and and stimulus/resource files).
2. This one might sound obvious but as a first check - are you signed in to pavlovia on your local psychopy (second globe icon from the right to check).
