Unable to open file on located on BIM360 via RevitPythonShell

Question

My intention is to open and close a file located on BIM360 via python to force sync Desktop Connector.

import os
filepath = "C:\\Users\\{}\\ACCDocs\\XXXX\\Project Template\\Project Files\\File.txt".format(os.environ['USERNAME'])
file = open(filepath, "r")
file.read()
file.close()

I have tried this through RevitPythonShell and Python Script node in dynamo and when reading the file it returns 'Proxy\n' and does not sync the file

Just a side note; using OOTB dynamo nodes 'File Path' node to 'FileSystem.ReadText' node, DOES read the file and force sync.

edit: additional side note, opening and reading the file from a python terminal in vscode was also successful in forcing the sync.

edit2: 'File From Path' node to 'FileSystem.ReadText' node, does not work and returns 'Proxy' as well.
