Description

Expected behaviour

We work on a projects, which, after completion, are tagged as "archived". Any new users who require access to the projects can only do so via webinterface, and not via desktop client sync - as set per File Access Control.

However, users who had previously synced the folder (before it was tagged with "archived") retain their client synced copy. It would be great if any such folders on the client machine could be removed.

Actual behaviour

Users who had previously synced the folder (before it was tagged with "archived") retain their client synced copy.

Research direction

No files or tests are named. Start by tracing how File Access Control marks archived projects and how that state reaches the desktop client sync logic; done means previously synced archived folders are removed or blocked while web access remains available.
