I created a new .xlsx file on a samba network drive via right-click, new, excel worksheet and depending on the filename it will either immediately disappear or disappear after a right-click refresh. I looked on the samba server itself and the file is there as well as visible in the traditional file explorer. I've opened & closed Files to no avail. I further tested creating both .xls and .xlsx files directly in excel and saving them to the network drive via excel save-as and both filetypes do not show up in Files. The drive in question is formatted as an NTFS drive. At the current time I do not have a drive available to test with a different file system though I will in a week's time.
I've performed the same right-click new, on a .txt & .docx file and they appear to function normally. I also created a new .xlsx file on a normal system drive (a second drive on my pc in this case) via right-click, new and the file is visible like normal so it appears this is a network drive issue or maybe specific to a mapped samba server drive. I should further clarify that there are already .xlsx files on the drive and those are visible in Files. This bug pertains to newly created excel sheets from windows (regardless of method used) onto the network drive.
When I deleted test files en-masse via File Explorer while Files was open, I saw Files flash a few times so at the very least Files knows they are there but not making them visible.
Steps To Reproduce
Create a new excel spreadsheet on a network drive (possibly specific to samba server network drive)
File is created but not visible by Files
Requirements
Ensure excel file type is visible on network drive.
