Hi,

i use external Storage with “Log-In Credentials, Save in Session” cause its the most comfortable form for my Case.

Now the State of the external Storage is not actual. Some Folder and Files are missing.

I tried files:scan --all, but the session based Storages are not in user folders.
I was looking for any path, but i didnt find any.
In username/files_versions/ i some external folders, but a Scan in this folder didnt solve the problem.

How can i scan the external Storage?

Thanks
