How To Fix Steam Was Unable to Sync Your Files

Having trouble with Steam unable to sync your files? Don't worry, we've got you covered! In this guide, we'll walk you through a step-by-step process to fix this issue and ensure seamless synchronization with the Steam Cloud. Let's get started!

The first step in resolving the Steam synchronization issue is to locate the game in your Steam library that is experiencing the syncing problem. Once you have identified the game, right-click on it and select "Properties" from the drop-down menu that appears.

In the properties window, you will find an option labeled "Sync with Steam Cloud." This option is usually enabled by default. To temporarily disable synchronization, uncheck this option. Disabling synchronization will allow us to address the syncing problem effectively.

Now that synchronization has been disabled, it's time to launch the game without synchronization. Start the game as you normally would and proceed to create a new save while playing. This step ensures that you have a fresh save file for syncing later.

Once you have created a new save file, go ahead and exit the game completely. It is crucial to exit the game to ensure that the changes made during the previous step are properly saved.

Now that you have exited the game, it's time to re-enable synchronization with the Steam Cloud. To do this, go back to the game's properties window by right-clicking on it in your library and selecting "Properties" once more. In the properties window, locate the "Sync with Steam Cloud" option that we disabled earlier. This time, recheck the option to enable synchronization once again.

With synchronization enabled again, it's time to launch the game just like before. This time, your local saves should sync seamlessly with the Steam Cloud without any issues. The game should recognize the new save file you created earlier and sync it with the Steam Cloud.
