I've provided all information below as the category requires it, but I don't particularly have an issue. The Dropbox remote type doesn't currently support polling (per the GitHub issue below). Is there any way to manually refresh the mount contents without restarting the remote? Apologies if this is addressed somewhere, I was unable to find it mentioned anywhere.
What is the problem you are having with rclone?
The Dropbox remote type does not support polling.
What is your rclone version (output from rclone version)
rclone v1.53.3
- os/arch: linux/amd64
- go version: go1.15.5
Which OS you are using and how many bits (eg Windows 7, 64 bit)
Linux (Debian 10), 64 bit.
Which cloud storage system are you using? (eg Google Drive)
Dropbox
The command you were trying to run (eg rclone copy /tmp remote:tmp)
rclone mount dropbox:/ /mnt/remote/dropbox --allow-other --log-level INFO --log-file "/mnt/remote/dropbox.log" --user-agent="RandomString" --uid 1001 --gid 1001 --dir-cache-time 1000h --poll-interval 15s --umask 002 --cache-dir="/mnt/remote/cache/dropbox" --vfs-cache-mode full --vfs-cache-max-size 20G --vfs-cache-max-age 48h --fast-list --daemon
The rclone config contents with secrets removed.
[dropboxraw]
type = dropbox
token = {"access_token":""}
[dropbox]
type = crypt
remote = dropboxraw:/path/
filename_encryption = standard
directory_name_encryption = true
password = pwd
password2 = slt

Thank you so much! I had no idea that refreshing VFS would actually refresh the content too

sure, glad to help
by the way, --fast-list does nothing on a mount.

You don't have to run rc, you can also kill -HUP the rclone process and it'll forgot the cache as well.

But that'll kill the mount, right? Meaning once the mount was setup again, Docker containers would need to be restarted to see the new mount. I just need polling, which rc seems to solve the issue of.
No, it just refreshes the directory cache.
I have the output above, you can see it.
