external storage updates are not detected by NC client in background

Hi !
I’m using NC for sharing project data among my collaborators !

what I’ve got:
Ubuntu 22.04 Server with NC 31.0.0.10 server installed. And NC client 3.16.3 for windows installed on users desktops.
I set up folder as “project “ linked to external storage folder “/mnt/data/project“

and share it among users in “Virtual files” mode. but folder “/project/models” is set as “Always available locally”

**the problem is:
**
When I put something new into /mnt/project/models all users don’t see it on their drives. local NC client may be triggered to sync only if user goes to NC web page and browse for new files in their files section on a NC sever web page. After this action NC client synchronizes all new files.

But this is not that thing I’ve looked for from NC. IS it possible if NC client could detect all updates in background without user’s interaction and sync all data in folders that are marked as “Always available locally“ ???

Thanx in advance….

P.S. the client has an option “Server poll interval” set to 30 seconds but seems like it is not related to my problem…..

Well…

after i update external folder with some files i do this command:
sudo -E -u www-data php occ files:scan --path=“/admin/files/external/folder/” admin -v

but it has no effect on clients this external folder shared to

the clients start getting new files only if they go to their web browsers ant browse for these files in their folders (in files section). Only this action triggers the client to synchronize

but updates from clients get to the server immediately without delays….

so seens like files:scan does not solve the problem
