OneDrive Synced folders cannot detect content change
I have ended up doing a lot of work to work around this issue as it has started to really hurt and I dont have a handle on it at all.
A few notes about the link above
- In the post there is a statement backing off the idea that it is restricted to Onedrive. I have also suspected Onedrive but then saw evidence otherwise. It does seem worse in Onedrive.
I also have this problem but it only happens with synced system folders (documents, desktop...). Other folders in Onedrive are working
I also see this on the desktop an until now I thought this is the same issue but I just realized that I don't sync the desktop to Onedrive.
- When the debugs are turned on the fault goes away. I have found the symptoms also to be intermittent.
I tried to debug but as soon as I enable debug it is working!
