How do I sync drafts in Penup between 2 Samsung devices?

I just bought a new device and it doesn't have my old drafts. If I create something in my new device, it's not showing in the old one. Looks like each is saved on the device, not in cloud. 
How do I change that?
I am logged in on both to the s same account.

Make sure your sync settings are turned on on your Samsung or Google account 1st. If so toggle off and back on again and turn device off and restart it.

Thank you! Now it's syncing to the cloud (hurray!) but still not showing in drafts in Penup app.
So I can't start working on a project on one device and finish it on another ā˜¹ļø

I've been struggling with the same issue as the OP, but I feel like I'm being really dense with this bit of advice; which sync settings do I need to check, and how do I know if my PenUp drawings are being saved to the cloud? I can't see anything in the app settings (in-app or via main settings) about cloud syncing, and the only settings I can see for cloud sync/backups in my Google or Samsung accounts don't show any options for individual apps.

Hey MagBal,

tbh I've been struggling with the same problem for a hot minute now (3 years) and as a IT trainee myself It's just unbelievable to me how the devs of penup could turn this app into a online drawing network with features functions such as logging into your samsung acc where your posted art can be seen with any device your on but your drafts are apparently saved on each device only, it not as if they had to write a completely whole new code, the potential is there but they didn't implement it for whatever reason. It's just shocking to me as why they decided to simply not imply the most essential feature

Now I don't mean to bash the whole app, cuz I simply love the whole concept and love the progress they made over the past years, but this is just a major flaw that NEEDS to be fixed.

I've tried every possible thing as up until now, to export my drafts manually but there are simply no files to be found of the drafts wich leaves me to think that they are being infact saved in the cloud, just any other device wich is not the source device of the draft can not display it.... this is just a big mystery I'm still trying to solve. Even the samsung support has no clue whatsoever

I'm Thinking about writing my own programm to export/import those drafts at this point.
