So, I first started having issues with cloud sync when I played riftbreaker a couple times and it took forever to do a cloud sync when I was done playing the game. Made it nearly impossible to play other games because Steam is busy trying to cloud sync stuff.

Now I'm playing Factorio and experiencing similar issues. I shut off cloud sync globally and locally, but upon my computer restarting, Steam is trying to sync the cloud with Factorio even though I've shut it all off, and I can't play the game while it's doing this.

This isn't even a new issue from what I've looked up, but it's still incredibly silly, and actively getting in the way of my ability to play my own games.
