Browser reload does not always trigger a sync if new file is found created via external write

[mmattel]

Steps to reproduce

1. Using a oC Google Drive mount and add a file via GD directly (not via oC)
2. Pressing force-reload on the browser accessing oC, the new file(s) appear
3. Sync does not get triggered
4. Renaming the file via browser accessing oC, the file gets renamed and synced.

Expected behaviour

Files should get synced when force-reload identifies new files on the backend.

Actual behaviour

At least one file needs a renaming, then all new files get synced

Note

When doing the same with eg. SMB, files added directly, force reload on the browser also triggers the sync process. Seems that the trigger process for sync is not homogen
