Autosync Additional Subfolders Post Bridging Projects

Autosync Additional Subfolders Post Bridging Projects

When creating a bridge between two project folders, automation is only enabled for files within the folders and subfolders that were present during the initial (manual) bridge setup. Subsequently added subfolders will not sync automatically. This feature should be enabled to eliminate the need to manually share folders each time new data is uploaded.

This is a great idea. The need for manual intervention every time a new subfolder is created defeats the purpose of an "autosync" feature.

I've had to use data recovery software in the past when a sync failure led to files being accidentally deleted. It's a stressful situation. For anyone else worried about that, a tool like this one can be a lifesaver for recovering lost data from drives.

Fully supporting this idea for a more robust and truly automatic sync.

My personal opinion is that the Sync should be allowed to fully sync the directories, which includes  adding new subfolders and files to the sync, this would include restructuring of files and folders in that structure. 
I would think that there should also be an option (perhaps toggle) that allows the removal of deleted files from the system as well. but it needs to be able to be enabled or not enabled for individual syncing bridges.
