Salesforce Files Sync Question - can you force users to Sync a file?

We find Salesforce Files Sync very interesting, and have a collection of files we'd like users to have synce'd to their laptops/ipads etc.   The question is how to make sure the users will sync those files?    We noticed the "sync" next to a file does not appear until the user logs in at least once from a Salesforce File Sync enabled desktop client.

In what object would we be able to pre-load / dataload a record to tie a user id to a contentID for File Sync in advance, so we don't have to rely on our users to execute a click on the "sync" link  on these files?

Dear Merri,

We cannot force the users to use salesforce file sync.It should be done manually by them.
