Directories autorescan?

ℹ️ Support

This sounds a rather dumb question, but is Nextcloud supposed to auto rescan the directories from time to time?

I use Nextcloud on my NAS where I can directly add/remove/edit files without using Nextcloud. But when I browse with Nextcloud, I cannot see the new folders or new files I have added. This was however working on Owncloud before.

I have defined a cron background job and have manually run occ files:scan --all, but it does not help.

Has this feature been disabled? (I am checking before opening an issue.)

Can you run occ -vvvv files:scan --all, it normally should show you the folders it scans through.

Yep, I cannot find the folder I have added, neither the parent folder, neither the grandparent… Moreover, a lot of directories are missing from these logs, although they exist on the filesystem and are browseable in Nextcloud.

Hmm… sounds like it would be worth filing an issue at https://GitHub.com/Nextcloud/server/issues/new
