Bug description

The client starts syncing new folders on itself and there does not seem to be a toggle to disable this behavior.

Steps to reproduce

1. Choose folders to sync
2. Create new folder on the server
3. The client immediately starts syncing this folder.

Expected behavior

Do not do that. When I choose which folders to sync, I deliberately do that.

Which files are affected by this bug

?

Operating system

Linux

Which version of the operating system you are running.

Fedora Linux 44 KDE

Installation method

Distro package manager

Nextcloud Server version

Nextcloud Hub 26 Spring (34.0.3)

Nextcloud Desktop Client version

34.0.2

Did this occur after an update or on a clean installation?

I don't know.

Are you using the Nextcloud Server Encryption module?

No

Are you using an external user-backend?

• Default internal user-backend
• LDAP or Active Directory
• SSO - SAML
• Other

Additional info

The client apparently also did non bother about the toggle "Ask for confirmation before synchronizing new folders larger than: 500 MB (default)" and happily synced a new 11 GB folder on it's own.
