### Bug description

After creating a new folder (Groupfolder), if you copy and paste one or more files into it, these files are not synchronized until you restart the synchronization client. The folder itself, however, is synchronized.

### Steps to reproduce

Create a new folder using Explorer.
The folder synchronizes.
Copy one or more files into this folder.
The files do not synchronize until the agent is restarted.
If, before restarting the agent, a new file is created in the folder in question, everything synchronizes correctly. This also works if I rename one of the copied files.

### Expected behavior

Everything is synchronizing well
