False (default) – The desktop client builds up a state database that describes which files are in sync and which files are not. In the case where the desktop client is re-imaged, the state information may be lost. This option can be used to scan local files and upload them to the cloud as necessary. This is a quick way to re-build state information when the local files are more accurate than the information in the cloud.
