Issue with Sync button missing in Modern Document Library.

Hi, check the following options:
STEP #1
Go to the site affected collect > “Site Settings” > “Search and offline availability”
Change the option “Offline Client Availability” to YES
STEP #2
Go to the Library Settings > Advanced Settings
Change the option “Offline Client Availability” to YES
After this changes you should be able to see the “Sync” button 🙂

I think I found a way around this annoying situation if it pops up again for anyone.
1 - Close any open browser windows attempting to "Sync" a newly shared folder
2 - Visit office.com, be logged in as your work account, click the rubiks cube and choose Office 365 (we're basically just getting to the following screen, there are many ways)
3 - Look for the "More in OneDrive" button near the lower middle part of the page
4 - (if prompted for permissions, just click thru) Once here, click on the "Return to Classic OneDrive" button in the lower left
5 - Now go back to your shared notification email and click the "open" button in the email. It should open with the Classic View which returns the Sync button.
