Stuck in Synchronizing steam cloud

Is the steam cloud down or something? I'm trying to open a game but the sync status thing keeps on staying in "synchronizing cloud". When i click play it only says "Synchronizing steam cloud". and then always ends with "Unable to sync". I've clicked on my other games and they did the same thing too. Restarted steam and it still happens? What is happening??

Delete web cache and steam downloads cache not cookies. Try again

After changing download server from Malaysia to Singapore, I'm still having connection to steam cloud issues. Any other way to fix this?

I tried the USA Los Angeles download server thing and it worked. But I'm still gonna wait when the download servers in my region's online again. For now i've sent a message to steam support hoping they fix this immediately
