Where is the option to create remote vault?

What I’m trying to do

I want to create my first remote vault, but I can’t for the life of me find where to do this. I’m using obsidian on android and on linux.

Things I have tried

I’ve tried reading the guide, which seems like a good starting place, but it’s not useful. I’m trying to follow the guide using the Linux desktop app. I am logged in.

Step 1 is to open Settings - there appears to be no “global” settings. There is a cog wheel in the bottom left to the right the current vault name.

Assuming that’s the settings, step 2 fails: In the sidebar, select Sync - there’s no such option.

Did you pay for a Sync plan? Just making sure, since you didn’t mention.

Yes I’ve paid for a sync plan, got the receipt and everything, so I’m very keen on getting my money’s worth.

Can you post a screenshot?

Did you do the section before the one you linked?
I am referring to Enable Obsidian Sync

Nope, missed it. Fixed now, was able to set up a remote vault (ux could be improved for that but that’s another story). Thanks!
