Hi @xmris,
Keep in mind that the timed local scan that odrive does happens every 30 minutes. This scan is a local-only scan, so it does not request information from the remote side. A refresh command, however, will perform a local and remote scan of a folder. This means that performing a recursive refresh can be quite expensive and cause API throttling, depending on the storage source, the size of the folder structure, and how frequently you are running it.
My recommendation is to utilize the 30 minute background local scan, in most cases, and then refresh specific local paths when you need the change to be reflected to the remote side immediately.
I will also look into what other options we may be able to provide for a more efficient method for local pick-up.
