Force sync in OneDrive

This way worked for me! Going to write a text file in the OneDrive so I dont have to look on internet everysingle time something doesnt sync (which is almost everytime).

Found another way that involve erasing some temp files, dont remember which ones but:

Windows + R

Write: %localappdata%\Microsoft\OneDrive\settings

Erase something there...

Wow I am mesmerized by how user-unfriendly this product is coded. Super disapointed that my employer is forced into your ecosystem. I hope we will be freed one day from the shackles that are Microsoft ⛓️

There doesn't seem to be a /sync command line parameter for onedrive for business - so Nhiel's answer didn't help.

Pause and Unpause options work but require lots of clicks:

I've made a .bat batch file based on guidance elsewhere:

@echo off

cd "C:\Program Files\Microsoft OneDrive"

OneDrive.exe /shutdown

start OneDrive.exe /background

exit

I've made a windows shortcut to this and run the shortcut minimised:

EXE is not located in OneDrive folder under %userprofile%.

It is in fact located in The Program Files folder under Microsoft OneDrive.

\Program Files\Microsoft OneDrive

you can copy paste cd C:\Program Files\Microsoft OneDrive (NOTE: if you did not install to C: replace drive letter to your install directory)

then enter the command as above - onedrive.exe /sync

your OneDrive folder will open and then begin to synchronize to your OneDrive cloud.

I wish the manual sync option worked for me, but it just says that onedrive.exe doesn't exist in that folder. However, even though it's hugely inconvenient, the unlink option worked. Thank you!
