Disable / Remove share button, follow button and synchronize button Sharepoint 2013

In spite of deploying code or jquery scripts, I wanted to know if there was a way of disabling buttons in SharePoint itself..
So I found out that you don't need any code/script to disable those buttons (share, follow and synchronize).

Here's how:
  • Disable "Share button" 
    1. Go to Site Permissions
    2. Select Access Request Settings
    3. Unmark Allow access request
Remember: You have to do for each Site and Button will still be visible for Admins

  • Disable "Follow button"
    1. Go to Site Features
    2. Deactivated Following Content Feature
Remember: You have to do for each Site

  • Disable "Synchronize button"
    1. Go to library settings
    2. Go to Advanced settings
    3. Say No to Offline Client Availability
Remember: You have to do for each Library

All done :)
