rclone mount does not see newly uploaded files to Dropbox that are uploaded via the web interface or other means (outside of copying them to the mount) even though polling is enabled. I also have Google Drive mounts which work fine.
Run the command 'rclone version' and share the full output of the command.
rclone v1.57.0
os/version: slackware 14.2+ (64 bit)
os/kernel: 5.10.21-Unraid (x86_64)
os/type: linux
os/arch: amd64
go/version: go1.17.2
go/linking: static
go/tags: none
Which cloud storage system are you using? (eg Google Drive)
Dropbox
The command you were trying to run (eg rclone copy /tmp remote:tmp)
Mount is created like this (polling every 15 seconds)
rclone mount --allow-other --timeout 10m --dir-cache-time 1h --poll-interval 15s --buffer-size 32M --vfs-read-chunk-size 256M --vfs-read-chunk-size-limit 4G --vfs-cache-mode full --vfs-cache-max-age 336h --vfs-cache-max-size 100G --cache-dir=~/rclone-cache --tpslimit 10 --log-file ~/logs/dropbox-mount.log --read-only --dir-cache-time 1h Dropbox:~/media```
After new files have been uploaded to Dropbox, several minutes later, listing the mounted directory, file is not visible.

Thank you for the suggestions. I was able to turn on logging and see the change notify events. It turns out that changes are not being seen in one folder and maybe because the folder in Dropbox is setup as a "Team folder". Seems like rclone is able to detect changes on "Shared" folders, just not on "Team" folders. Keep in mind that rclone reads the files fine in this "Team" folder. Any solution for this?
Thank you! I am not following no path or only list operations. I need to be able to list and read the files (i.e. copy). Given my mount command: rclone mount --allow-other --timeout 10m --dir-cache-time 1h --poll-interval 15s --buffer-size 32M --vfs-read-chunk-size 256M --vfs-read-chunk-size-limit 4G --vfs-cache-mode full --vfs-cache-max-age 336h --vfs-cache-max-size 100G --cache-dir=~/rclone-cache --tpslimit 10 --log-file ~/logs/dropbox-mount.log --read-only --dir-cache-time 1h Dropbox:~/media
How would I use --dropbox-shared-folders option in above command?
Thanks. I have some more info. I mounted in debug mode and was uploading and deleting files. I can see that the change notifications fire in some instances but not in others. Seems like they do not fire for a specific folder and all subfolders. I have the following structure:
Anything I place in /Plex/Media/TV or below does not get notifications. If I pace files elsewhere, they do (see logs). Logs with "vfs cache RemoveNotInUse" messages removed to reduce clutter is attached. I also attached a screenshot showing that I added a file to a folder, Dropbox activity stream saw it but rclone did not see it.

So I wouldn't expect to see a new file. Did you stop the mount? Stop the log? If you remove things from the logs, it makes figuring it out much harder as well. The full log is really what is needed.
I went ahead and cleared the existing cache to start fresh. Mounted with debug and started adding/deleting files through the web interface and rclone copy commands. First log did not show any changes were being detected as I added several files in the TV, Movies and other non-root folders. Once I added a file at the root at 11:44:15, the changes started being detected and you can see several IMG files being detected as added and deleted in the log. However, once I started adding files to TV folder again, they were not being detected (see screenshot). Something odd is happening.
