I noticed this issue with my Obsidian folder, where locally created notes are not being synchronized.

### Steps to reproduce

1. Create a folder either through the nextcloud website dashboard or through nextcloud desktop client
2. Create a simple text file with a word as content
3. Sync that folder on Nextcloud Android and wait until it synced it for the first time
4. Once synced, create a text file in the local directory (inside com.nextcloud.client -> in the newly synchronized folder
5. Wait for the next synchronization to happen
6. See that the locally created files are not being synced.

### Expected behaviour

Files created on the smartphone inside the 2-way-sync folder should be synchronized as well.

### Actual behaviour

It currently ignores all locally created files
