    Hi @Lokesh Dharmappa ,

    Thank you for posting in this community.

    I looked up the information and I'm sorry to say that there is no centralized setup for managing the sync button for the entire farm in SharePoint Server Subscription Edition.

    We can only hide the sync button by manually disabling the Offline Client Availability feature for each site.

    We are always looking for ways to improve SharePoint, and your feedback and suggestions are very valuable. We suggest that you can make suggestions on this SharePoint Feedback portal to further optimize the management of the sync button on SharePoint Server Subscription Edition at web application level. Your contribution will be highly appreciated.

    Hi @Lokesh Dharmappa ,

    I found a powershell command that is able to turn off the SharePoint 2019 sync button for all sites. You can try this to see if it works the same for SharePoint server subscription edition.

    Please open the SharePoint server subscription edition management shell as an administrator and run the following command:

    Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell -erroraction SilentlyContinue
     
    Get-SPSite -limit all | get-SPWeb -limit all | Foreach { $_.ExcludeFromOfflineClient=1;
       $_.Update()
    }

    Hi @Lokesh Dharmappa ,

    Really appreciate your reply, but I'm still confused about this file size limit error. (It's common for a file to be 50MB in size, this shouldn't have a size limit.)

    Maybe this article I referenced: Software boundaries and limits for SharePoint Servers 2016 and 2019 is so old that SharePoint server subscription edition there may be a new update about the limit on moving files.

    I apologize for not being able to provide any further solutions to your problem with the resources we currently have available in the forum. We suggest you open a ticket.

    Please accept my sincerely apologize for any in convenience this may cause. Thank you for your kind understanding.
