Is there any way of forcing OneDrive to sync? Let's say a user uploads a document on one client, and user 2 wants to access that document immediately on his client, but onedrive haven't synced that folder yet.
Is there a way to force a manual sync? Ideally with like a .bat file or something that i can pin to the taskbar that the user can just click to run just to speed up the process

Thank you for your reply. I am not “tech savvy.” I am a part time worker in the church office with no tech on site. I’m just trying to be sure my ESL class folder gets backed up. I don’t know why it won’t sync. 🥺 I tried to follow the directions I found and they didn’t work. 🫤
The second part of your answer DOES NOT work at least in the implementation we have. Onedrive.exe is not in that location, and I suspect that's standard.
The first part I did last night, after one hour of messing with settings. It also doesn't work.
Make sharepoint sync work properly with a button. For Pete's sakes. Or do I have to copy in your board to get it fixed.
Did you switch to the correct directory with the following command? I suspect the issue is with the file location.
The location where onedrive.exe normally should be found - %userprofile%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\OneDrive
Batch file I recommend to use for manual syncing:
@echo off
cd %userprofile%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\OneDrive
OneDrive.exe /background /sync
exit
To debug the issue if onedrive.exe is not recognized you can check it existence in the folder by using DIR command.
my computer does not recognize onedrive.exe /sync
