Suggestion box: iCloud needs a "Force Sync" button!!

We use the iCloud quite a bit to work on shared documents at my business.


It would be really, really useful if the iCould had a "Force Sync" button, because it doesn't alway happen on its own. Usually, it updates to the latest version of a file without problem. But sometimes it just... doesn't. I have found that restarting the computer will make the iCould on that particular machine update. But it would be nice if there were a button to press to make the machine check and update the iCloud without restarting it.


This would make my life a lot easier!

There's not much point in making suggestions here to a bunch of other users. If you'd like to make a suggestion to Apple, go here:

Feedback - Photos - Apple


We see real changes come from suggestions made there. (But never quickly…)
