Synchronization Option Lock-in

When selecting Joplin Cloud as the sync target, you're unable to change to another option (e.g., OneDrive) later, even if the sync hasn't been completed. Please consider documenting or addressing this limitation.

I'm using this version for my linux machine

When you click synchronize it uses you previous selection. I've without success looked around for way of switching between Joplin Cloud and One Drive

On android mobile we have the same issue, I previously selected One Drive but did not push through with the sync.
If I try to exit the app and launch a new instance, it preloads, One Drive and so I cannot make another selection

You need to change your sync target in the settings first. On the desktop, it is located in Tools → Options → Synchronisation.

@tomasz1986 thanks

It seems a few users are struggling with this issue, I guess we should make it clearer how to setup sync
