Syncing using office and OneDrive

Question
-
Hi,
I have been trying hard to understand the syncing process of Office files using OneDriveSync and OfficeSync/Office2016Sync.
I came across various exe i.e MSOSYNC.exe, MSOUC.exe, CSISYNCCLIENT.exe etc, but i could find any documentation for how the actual sync is occurring, how is sync by office different from sync by OneDrive etc
Can someone please tell me the exact procedure or show me the path to where to read about it.

Hi 72942sham,
>> the syncing process of Office files using OneDriveSync
By this, do you mean the OneDrive for Business or OneDrive for personal? You could refer to this article to determine which version of OneDrive you are using. If you mean OneDrive for Business, it is recommended to download the poster from the link below to learn about the synchronization steps a file goes through when it passes though OneDrive for Business sync client:

Based on my research, these exe files are all part of Microsoft Office Upload Center. Microsoft Office Upload Center give us a way to see the state of files we're uploading to a server, in one location. When we upload a file to a web server, Microsoft first saves that file locally to the Office Document Cache before it starts the upload, which means that we can save changes and immediately continue working even when we are offline or have a bad network connection. The Microsoft Office Upload Center lets us keep track of how uploads are progressing, and whether any files need our attention. You could refer to the following link for more information about Microsoft Office Upload Center:
Hope the above information can be helpful.:)

Hi 72942sham,
From your description it looks like you want to find documentation.
but this forum only handles the issues regarding development.
so for better response and solution for your issue. I move this thread to Office 2013 and Office 365 ProPlus - IT Pro General Discussions forum.
The reason why we recommend posting appropriately is you will get the most qualified pool of respondents, and other partners who read the forums regularly can either share their knowledge or learn from your interaction with us. Thank you for your understanding.
Regards
Deepak
