I have users in the filed who need access to CAD files on a local server.  
These CAD files are created/changed frequently.  
I would like these users to login and download the latest files before starting a project.  
These users primarily use windows based tablets.

New Pydio install.  
Mounted Windows 2012 SMB dive via fstab (I can make a single user login work for now)  
I have created a workspace linking to the mounted windows drive (File System Driver)  
I have also created a workspace to the same windows SMB share using the (SMB Driver)

The Issue is:  
All files show up in the workspace as expected.  
But, If a user adds a file to the SMB share (via the windows client) it does not show up in the workspace until the sever is rebooted.
