I created an experiment and since yeaterday I’m trying to sync it to Pavlovia but it doesn’t work. I tried clearing cache and putting my experiment inside another folder and it didn’t work. I even created a very simple experiment containing only a text and it doesn’t sync as well. I appreciate if anyone can help me with this problem.  
I’ve put the screenshot of the errors I get.

Hello

It is indicated in the above mentioned error message that the local project does not point to a remote project. It is suggested to create the remote and to sync then.

Do you have the same problem? Usually PsychoPY creates the remote project on the first sync.

Post your error message here.

Best wishes Jens

The original poster’s issue was that they had synced an experiment from their documents folder instead of a dedicated subfolder. If you have done the same you will need to delete hidden.git files and folders from documents before you can sync from sub folders
