Macos: no automatic scanning about syncthing-macos

[xor-gate]

No problem here almost instant file transfer, tried with the following versions:

• macOS 12.7.1 Monterey
• Syncthing for macOS v1.27.0-1

Make sure you have the Advanced setting per folder correctly set to "watch for changes". I'm not sure when you have a very large folder what the performance impact is and if Syncthing it then disables.

Thanks for your answer. I checked and the checkbox is properly enabled.

Which macOS version are you running and are you watching a big folder?

[cvlc12]

The folder is empty except for small test files.
MacOS is 13.6.1.
I'm trying now with a folder created on the remote and then shared, and that seems to work. Not instantaneous but reasonable, maybe 5s. However on the first folder created on the Mac, it's still one way until a manual or periodic rescan.

[edit]
also works for a new share created from the Mac. All settings are the same. No idea what was wrong with the first.

Oh OK I think I got it. The first folder was stored in iCloud. I'm not used to Macs so I didn't see the difference.

Shares synced to local folders work.

Thanks !
