In my use case, I am running calibre as a docker container on my Synology DS920+ and access using bicbucstriim.

Synology no longer support many external USB devices, so to copy content to my Kindle I have to download a copy to my PC and transfer it from there.

Because calibre is so easy to sync books to the kindle, I set up a one-way sync from the NAS to my PC using Synology Drive to keep an up-to-date copy of the calibre library on my PC and allows me to fire up calibre on my PC when I want to transfer content to my kindle.

This works until new content is added to calibre on the NAS - Synology Drive doesn't detect the new/changed files. If I ssh to the NAs and use the "touch" command on any new files, Synology Drive immediately detects and syncs those files to my PC.

Any ideas why the changes calibre makes aren't detected?
