Feature: Auto refresh drive widget & tags widget when changes are detected

[m1karii]

1, Enable reload button on The Home page as a way to update displayed capacity and used space of drives (so i don't have to close and reopen whole Files app or go to drive properties every time i want it updated)

2. displayed capacity and used space of drives should be automatically updated when The Home page is entered (on new tab for e.g.)

@gave92 shouldn't we use the file watcher to automatically update the home page without requiring a refresh?

Coming from #14334.

Closing all windows and reopening files doesn't fix the problem.

Please don't copy and paste the log file contents. It makes issue hard to read and navigate.

What if you close Files via Task Manager? Just to clarify, this isn't the expected behavior but it'll confirm if it's the same issue.

Sorry for that.

@yaira2 Surprisingly, it does fix the problem (for a moment), but the stats still doesn't update until next time I do the same.

The issue is due to the lack of a "watcher" to update the UI when the storage capacity changes.

Making this line work would fix this issue.

Also this would work as a workaround for #15410 instead of turning off the option to run the app on the background.

I'll leave this for a few days, if no one is interested in I'll look into 👍

Thank you
