ExpanDrive does not show new remote files
My expandrive on OS X does not show new files and folders on the remote machine. I always have to reconnect to refresh. :(
I’m angry

Inappropriate?ExpanDrive for Mac will update changes to remote files automatically within 5-10 seconds of changing, or any time an application opens handle to the file, or asks for the file’s meta data.
It may be the case that the Finder simply isn’t updating it’s file listing. The Finder usually updates when it gets a notification from the operating system that a file has changed. Since these files are changing on the server instead of on the local machine, and SFTP servers do not report file changes on their own, there’s no way the Finder can find out automatically that a file has changed over ExpanDrive. It has to ask.
Here’s a little utility you can run that is supposed to refresh a Finder window. If you give it a try, will you let us know if it works for you?

Inappropriate?Thank you for your reply, I will try out the Refresh Finder App next time this happens to me. I just tried to reproduce the problem using "touch" and "mkdir" on some linux server i am connected to. Expandrive showed the new files and folders only after switching to another directory.
When I first noticed this update-problem, I had to completely reconnect for the new directory to appear (it was a typo3 extension directory, which was created on the server by installing a new extension from the typo3 web backend).
I’m okay
