Description
I have filesystem_check_changes set to 1 in my Nextcloud config.php. This means when I create or edit files in my Nextcloud data directory via a Samba share, Nextcloud notices the changes and updates its database accordingly. However, if I add or edit a file in a group folder, Nextcloud does not notice the change.
Is this a bug? I am not sure how Nextcloud decides which directories to keep track of when this option is enabled.

Research direction
Start by tracing how filesystem_check_changes in config.php handles files created or edited through a Samba share, comparing regular data directories with group folders. Done means changes made in group folders are detected and reflected in Nextcloud's database, with the behavior verified for both added and edited files.
