Steps to reproduce the bug

Great App! Although I couldn't find how to access the Sync features described in Readme.md:

🚀 ADVANCED SYNCHRONIZATION: Whether you choose to store your contacts locally or prefer syncing them across devices using different means, our app ensures a smooth, efficient, and secure management experience

I've search in every menu/setting I could find.

Hence I could not find any online Backup feature eitherwwhich is also mentioned in Readme.md, whereas Export Contacts in bulk into local device is accessible and working.

Specifically I have a Nextcloud account and would like to sync the contacts upon their creation or modification whether through Android (this Contact Android App) or Nextcloud (it's web instance Contacts tool) and without having to use a Google Account .

For now when I create a contact with this (great!) Contact Android App, by default it is added to my (soon-to-be-depreciated) Google Account and my Nextcloud account isn't proposed

Expected behavior

Settings available for contacts "syncing across devices using different means" (see Readme.md)

Or explanations and prerequisites available in the app's FAQ

Actual behavior

No access visible or available to the Sync features described in Readme.md for online accounts like Nextcloud (or similar, but I haven't tested them)

Screenshots/Screen recordings

No response

The current Readme is temporary and may not directly say it, but Fossify apps have no Internet access by design. Synchronization relies on address books created by external apps like Davx5.
