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
A Microsoft file hosting and synchronization service.
Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
Batch file idea seems good, but implementation is not quite.
I suggest the following batch file which should work -
@echo off
cd %userprofile%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\OneDrive
OneDrive.exe /background /sync
exit
The whole point of having a backup is to have files ready in an emergency immediately, not when Microsoft decides they will be ready.
When you move a file from one location to another you expect it to be there.
What is the point of paying for high speed internet only to be stopped on the server side?
this worked. but ridiculous MS won't just add a Sync Now button that's easy to find since they won't make it just sync continuously. The only way i found other than this cumbersome hack is to completely log out of windows and log back in. Kubik's solutions is much better than that option. So thank you sir.
I don't know if this has been mentioned, but the easiest way I've found to force sync is to pic I file I know has been recently modified and right-click>version history.
Cheers!
Sync button is ok idea, but they don't need it, there is already F5, except it also doesn't do anything. That should force a folder to sync. If there is an authentication error as some mentioned, then they should ask for credentials. This is super simple stuff, it really shows their contempt for us.
