Hi Sage4, welcome to our Community!
You mentioned that when you visit your Backup tab on the app's preferences, you don't see it there.

No, I don't have that option. PC (9) is not listed - that's the one that should be syncing. There's no way to add a new backup.

Hi Sage4, I'd definitely love to have a visual of what you see on your end when visiting your Backup tab on the device.
If you could send a few screenshots, that'd be most helpful. While you're at it, feel free to also send me a screenshot of the Backup that you see in your File Explorer, please.
