Cause

To synchronize settings to the cloud, Settings Sync compresses the content of the settingsSync folder inside the IDE configuration directory (excluding the .git folder) and sends the archive to our storage server. On the server's side, there is a 4MB limitation on the archive's size. If the settings archive exceeds 4 MB, the IDE receives the response with the error specified.

Solution

  1. Close the IDE;
  2. Open the settingsSync folder inside the IDE configuration directory;
  3. Find out the largest directory inside (excluding .git):
  • if this is a colors directory, the problem is most likely caused by a large number of color schemes; unused ones could be manually removed from this folder and from the colors folder inside the IDE configuration directory (the folder two levels higher);
  • if the biggest directory is projectTemplates, it could be a consequence of the Project Templates can cause settingsSync archive size to exceed the limit bug; this directory should be removed manually;
  • if some other directory is the largest one, please consider reporting the problem to the Settings Sync issue tracker using this link - this case requires deeper investigation on our side;
  1. After removing the biggest folder, open the IDE and enable Settings Sync.
