Cannot Backup and Sync on any devices

Answered

Here's my problem, I'm trying to connect to backup and sync, but I keep getting stuck on the same screen. I've connected several times to different IDEs (PhpStorm, Rider, intelliJ IDEA), on several different OSs (macOS, Arch linux, windows 11), I've tried connecting and disconnecting several times too, and nothing works. 

If you have any ideas it would be great. Thanks in advance...

Hi Evan,

It is a known issue, https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IJPL-183565. We are working on fixing it.

As a workaround until then, see if it helps to log out of your JetBrains Account, restart the IDE and log back in.

Dear users,
The problem was fixed on our side tonight. Please try to enable 'Backup and Sync' again, it should work now.

I'm still having the same issue. I've tried:
1. Log out, reset, login to reactivate my license.

2.Uninstall and Reinstall

Any help on this would be really appreciated!

Hello Durgashankar2003 ,

I can see differences in the Registry, yours just has enabled ide.experimental.ui=true while common installation should show:

Registry:
  debugger.auto.attach.from.console=true
  ide.experimental.ui=true
  ide.show.plugin.suggestions.on.open=false
  jetbrains.tbe.settings.notifications.nomodals=true
  jar.http.downloader.enabled=true
  ml.completion.enable.diagnostics=true
  markdown.open.vcs.log.link=true
  jetbrains.tbe.show.error.popup=true
  jvm.dfa.analysis.ui.security.analysis.window.was.shown=true
  llm.generate.commit.summary=true
  jetbrains.tbe.branding.icon.show=false
  llm.ignore.default.prompt.rules.aie=false

Looks like installation is corrupted. Please try the following:

  1. Uninstall current IntelliJ IDEA version
  2. Download again IntelliJ IDEA installer
  3. Verify that under "/Users/"userName"/Library/Application Support/JetBrains" there is no directory for the current version
  4. Install IntelliJ IDEA with the latest downloaded installer
  5. Try Backup and Sync

If it doesn't work please collect the log by going to Help | Collect Logs and Diagnostic Data. Also, go to "/Users/"userName"/Library/Application Support/JetBrains/IntelliJIdea2025.1" and copy the idea.vmoptions file and share the files through our safe upload site https://uploads.jetbrains.com/, and share the uploadID.
