Garmin Connect and Strava not auto-syncing?

Former Member
Former Member over 10 years ago
I recently opted to not auto-sync my activities to Strava. I want to re-enable this option but the option seems to have disappeared from GC...?
Is this part of the whole GC calamity at the moment or am I not looking in the correct place?
Strangely, after disabling the option, just one of my many activities has been randomly uploaded to Strava...? The Strava status says it's linked to GC despite me not being able to re-link it...?
Please fill me in on how I can reactivate the Strava link. I'm training for some triathlons and I'm bustin' to get some of my activities up on Strava to compare with peers, etc.
Cheers in advance

PS. My FR220 hasn't had any issues syncing to GC via the bluetooth mobile app. Thanks GC! Still loving the product

    I'm linked to Strava and it works fine. I see the link in "Settings-Account Information".

    I believe you initiate the link from Strava. Go to "Upload activity" then select "Get Started" under Garmin.

    Personally I prefer to use Tapiriik to do the Garmin to Strava sync instead. With Tapiriik it will mark my activities private in Strava which wasn't happening with the direct linkup, plus I have it set to wait a little bit before doing the sync which give me time to change the workout name and add some descriptive text that will then get conveyed to Strava. Also, Tapiriik can save a copy of the workout as a TCX file on Dropbox. Tapiriik is free to try (and will do manual syncs for free), or donate a whopping $2 per year to get automatic sync.

    I have had lots of issues with the sync feature. I have deleted Strava app numerous times over the years. Then a friend says to get back on. And it works for a while. Then I waste time trying to figure out why it’s not syncing today after syncing for 2 months without a hitch. Today, I did my ride and both Garmin and Strava day I’m connected to the other. No data in Strava. I just deleted the app for about 10th time in 3 years. I’ll do without until someone bugs me again.
