### Bug description

The "Sync now" button does not sync now— it (probably) pushes up any local changes but it does *not* pull down changes that are on the server.

### Steps to reproduce

1. Have someone else edit a file and save.
2. Confirm it has synchronized on the server.
3. Press the "Sync Now" button twenty times over several minutes, and it always said all synced, and everything it listed was stuff i had added a day ago.
4. Finally opened the same file anyway, the addition is not there, edit and save.
5. Be very annoyed as Nextcloud *immediately* tries to sync it up to the server and announces that there is a conflict.

### Expected behavior

When i press a button called "Sync Now" it synchronizes *in both directions*.
