Additional information
No response
can still confirm for 3.34.1 on android (google pixel). I have a folder which contains just sub-folders. Files are in those sub-folders.
structure like this: folder folder/subfolder1 folder/subfolder2
when I manually trigger sync on "folder" NOTHING happens. Not even the subfolders are created on my android device. I end up with just the "folder" when I manually trigger sync on any of the "subfolders" it actually starts to sync all the files in that subfolder.
so I think its an issue with recursion.
