Rclone cannot access file after move unless restarted

What is the problem you are having with rclone?

Running Windows rclone, gdrive (P:)with union to a local drive (D:). I add files directly to gdrive by copying from my download directory to drive P: and everything works great, I can access the files in P: directly. However, when I run my upload script at night, I cannot access the uploaded files on my rclone mount (P:) unless I restart the rclone service. It’s as if rclone doesn’t know the file is no longer in the local drive (D:) and won’t register its now in gdrive (P:).

Am I doing this wrong? Should I not write files directly to P: (rclone mounted union)?
