Mac Unable to Sync error on Steam

I just moved from Windows to MacOS. I downloaded SV and a few other games again and met with the error "Unable to Sync" only on SV. I already tried to find save file/error logs, however, when I enter << ~/.config/StardewValley/ErrorLogs>> no folder came up.

I already tried all the recommended troubleshoot:
- Verify integrity of game files
- Turn off and on the Steam Cloud button on Preferences menu
- Clearing the download cache
All of which do not provide any solve to my issue

On the Steam Page, I can try to press <<Play>>, it would try to run, and say the cloud save is up to date, however it soon crash again, and the cloud error pops up again.

I attached below the picture of my Steam Page and the attempts of try to run the game.

I further tried to access the files location on my own, upon further inspection, there's no .app file type for Stardew Valley present in the local file? Is this normal?

On game page > Manage > Browse local files, there's only the Contents folder
In the Contents folder, there "MacOS" and another folder containing the resources of the game. No .app file anywhere in any of these two folders.

This is normal, yes. The .app on MacOS is not actually a file, but rather a folder containing the resources and content for the app (you can open other packages on your computer to see the same thing). Steam doesn't include the .app extension for games it installs.

The fail to sync issue is one of Steam, not exactly Stardew. For whatever reason, Steam is having issues uploading your save files (or downloading them from the cloud)
