How to Force Steam Cloud Sync
To force a Steam Cloud sync, first try closing and reopening the game. Often, this triggers Steam to sync your game saves. If that doesn't work, try manually exiting Steam through the system tray and then reopening it. Steam will attempt to sync all your games with the Cloud as it restarts. Still no luck? Check your game's properties in Steam to ensure that Steam Cloud synchronization is actually enabled for that game. Sometimes, it's just a simple toggle that got missed!

Honestly, I've noticed forcing a cloud sync isn't always necessary. Steam's pretty good at handling it automatically. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
Another method is to force the sync by initiating a game update. Sometimes updating a game or verifying the integrity of game files through Steam can prompt a cloud sync. It鈥檚 like giving Steam a gentle nudge to get things moving!
Just restart Steam, dude. Works most of the time.
