I have been running psd fine for over a year. Not sure if it was the latest update or my system crash that was hard rebooted, but I am having issues with psd. Everything else works fine.

I tried to remove it and reinstall it same problem. Cant stop/start/disable, etc, psd.service. I have psd running on my other PC with the latest updates and it still runs perfect.

arch ~ $ psd preview
Profile-sync-daemon v6.18 on Arch Linux

 Systemd service is currently unknown.
 Systemd resync-timer is currently unknown.
 Overlayfs technology is currently inactive.

Psd will manage the following per /home/arch/.config/psd/psd.conf:

 browser/psname:  firefox/firefox
 sync target:     /home/arch/.mozilla/firefox/l8210j8f.default
 tmpfs dir:       /run/user/1000/arch-firefox-l8210j8f.default
 profile size:    35M
 recovery dirs:   none

 browser/psname:  opera-developer/opera-developer
 sync target:     /home/arch/.config/opera-developer
 tmpfs dir:       /run/user/1000/arch-opera-developer
 profile size:    79M
 recovery dirs:   none

arch ~ $ systemctl status psd.service
* psd.service
   Loaded: not-found (Reason: No such file or directory)
   Active: inactive (dead)

arch ~ $ sudo systemctl status psd.service
[sudo] password for arch: 
* psd.service
   Loaded: not-found (Reason: No such file or directory)
   Active: inactive (dead)
# Its Installed:
local/profile-sync-daemon 6.18-1

# Trying to start it, I get a access denied! Weird.

arch /var/log $ sudo systemctl start psd.service
Failed to start psd.service: Unit psd.service failed to load: No such file or directory.

arch /var/log $ systemctl start psd.service
Failed to open /run/systemd/ask-password-block/136:0: Permission denied

Psd ships with a user unit for several months now since v6 was released. You are trying to start the old system unit.
