Automatically do a files:scan on that specific file when a new file is added

[j-ed]

But as I understand it, it refers to files being created legitimately via the web interface, or am I missing something here?

That’s right, because this is the only case where Nextcloud is aware of file system changes. If you’re by-passing the Nextcloud gui you have to make sure that a file scan is triggered afterwards.
