Hello there.
Since June 28th, whenever I try to sync my accounts, I get the message that I have a private profile. While I appreciate the new image that shows me how to turn a private Steam profile to a public one, my profile actually is set to public. Everything that can be set to public actually is public. Except game time, that I do hide.
Nevertheless, I can no longer sync my accounts because SG thinks my profile is private.

Am I the only one with this problem?

Edit: Let it sit on "Friends Only" for three days, set it back to "Public", could sync again. Thank you all for your comments!

I had the same problem a couple days ago.
Change your settings to Friends or Private in the client, then change it back to Public. That fixed it for me.
(Edit: Give it a minute to let it save before changing it back to Public)

That didn't solve it, although I might not have waited long enough. Gotta go now, will keep everything friends only for the next days and then switch it back to public.
Thank you for your answer.

The ''solution'' Tzaar suggests worked for me as well when i encountered the same problem. Just give it some time.

Have you tried setting playtime to public just to see if it is the cause of issue?

I have never had a problem. Is your account set to public now? When I try to view it, your entire profile is currently private.

This is a common problem randomly affecting sites that check your inventory. Nothing to do except hope Steam stops that silly glitch and moves on to the next.

There's no need to show your playtime public.

It is if you're in the EU, one of the biggest reasons for Brexit.

Have you tried to make your profile public in the first place?

I'm having this issue right now...
Just a few hours ago it was working, but now it gives me "Please switch to a public Steam profile before attempting to sync. This can be done by updating your Steam privacy settings as seen below.", however my profile is Public.

Edit: Tried it now and was able to sync.
