How do you actually enable file syncing? Where precisely is the option to enable it?

Hi,
I'm new to Zotero. I'm working on a transition from a Mendeley database. I want to use Zotero.org's cloud storage. However, for the life of me, I can't actually find where in the Zotero app to instruct the program to upload the actual pdfs of papers, rather than just the citations. I'm looking on the documentation here:

https://www.zotero.org/support/preferences/sync#file_syncing

It says you can set up file syncing, but I can't actually find that option. I'll probably have to pay for some storage, and that's fine. But where do I actually find the option to tell the Zotero software to upload files, not just citations, to the cloud? The documentation simply says you can enable/disable file syncing. But for the life of me I can't find where exactly that option is in the program.

Thank You,
Tanya

Oh, those photos are from an old version. Once you make an account, just sign in. It should automatically sync everything, but check that that "sync automatically" and "sync full-text content" are selected, and that "Sync attachment files in my library using" is set to "Zotero." (See attached photo for example of finalized setup)
You'll have 700MB to start, so you should be able to test it out for free.
