Hi~ @John_DeBernardis , You can check the difference between when the function is checked and when it is not in the attached link. Also, if you check the function, RaiDrive will continuously scan the remote folder periodically, which puts a burden on the remote server. Some remote drives may be subject to a request limit and may limit their use. If you use remote drives and folders with other users, it is recommended to check them, but if you are using them alone, it is recommended not to check them.
