The best that can be done with the current way it is implemented is to add the /XO argument:

#CustomBuildAction: folders ready, %WINDIR%\System32\Robocopy.exe,"..\..\Shared Files" "..\Files" /XO
'Ctrl + click to sync files: ide://run?file=%WINDIR%\System32\Robocopy.exe&args=..\..\Shared+Files&args=..\Files&args=/XO&FilesSync=True

This will prevent older files from the shared folder to be copied. This is not a perfect solution as you will get different versions of the same file in the different platforms.

Good. At least this will not create the bewildered problem faced by developers. They will see what they expect.
In another platform they will know they did not copied to shared folder so showing old one.
