RealTimeSync does not monitor new files in new subfolders

RealTimeSync monitors new files in a specific folder, but does not identify new files created in a new created subfolder. It would be interesting if RealTimeSync also monitored new subfolders created inside the monitored folder. That is, I would like that in addition to monitoring the chosen folder, also monitor the new subfolders created by other users without me having to designate it in RealTimeSync.
Does anyone have any solutions for this?

There is no reason why this shouldn't work already.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<FreeFileSync XmlType="REAL">
<Directories>
<Item/>
<Item>I:\Renders\OFF\MAC</Item>
</Directories>
<Delay>10</Delay>
<Commandline>"C:\Program Files\FreeFileSync\FreeFileSync.exe" "C:\Program Files\FreeFileSync\BatchRun_JOBS_TVE.ffs_batch"</Commandline>
</FreeFileSync>

If I create a folder called TEST inside I: \ Renders \ OFF \ MAC , it will sync.
But if I put a file inside the TEST folder it will not sync.
Because it only monitors new folders / files inside the I: \ Renders \ OFF \ MAC. It would be nice if it monitors new files inside new folders.

In tests on macOS RealTimeSync did not receive any change notifications at all from the OS. Unless started with admin rights. It seems this is a new prerequisite to using RealTimeSync on macOS.

I'm with WINDOWS 7.
Zenju, if you can, test to understand what I am saying and tell me if there is a solution.
Configure Sync to monitor a folder, then create a new subfolder inside and paste a file into this new subfolder. This file created in the subfolder does not turn on sync, that's my problem.

This is not a general issue of RTS, but something specific to your "I: \" folder. The ReadDirectoryChangesW function seems to silently fail, most likely because it is not a SMB share.

It's actually a sharing done in SMB.

RTS works with the folder configured to monitor.
Problem is in the new files in the new subfolders.
