Force sync in OneDrive

Anonymous

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

Thanks for the advice, but the command onedrive.exe is not recognized as there is no executable in the OneDrive directory.

Any thoughts about where it is?

Regards,

Bob

I have the same question. User1 updates the file and wants it available for User2 as soon as possible. If User 1 updates a file, power off the PC before the Sync is completed and goes on vacation. I think User2 will not see the update until User1 powers on again. I always wonder how long should User1 keep his PC running before powering off. I don't remember seeing any message saying "Onedrive SYnc is in progress, do not power off"

Seems like Pause syncing in the Settings and then followed by "click here to resume syncing" will force a sync.

Is there a command line for these 2 steps?

I tried that option and it did take a long, long time and did *not* fix the issue.
