Is this working? Want to monitor a network folder on a nas via network drive.
Connection is smb3 over ethernet.
Realtimesync and network drives

I am monitoring a mounted Windows network share just fine.
I am guessing it will work, but only a test can confirm

It works! I just tested it with….azure file shares mounted over internet. (Smb3 with encryption and ip whitelisting )
The nice thing is that this function is not so chatty as a normal FFS compare.
Ms Azure generates cost on every file transaction, a simple compare on a file are at least 4 transactions. A full sync compare on my ‘virtual azure nas’ cost thousands of transactions approx 6 cents per individual full sync. (100gb)
I did sniff traffic with wireshark, and the realtimesync app sends 4 smb packets every 10 seconds, Probably to query if there are any changes in the watched directory.
This generates approx 1M azure transactions per month per watched folder which is about 7eur/ month in cost. Conclusion is not to use this 24x7 on the public cloud (cost of azure vs aws google is similar)
