File Sync is deactivated for Project Files but there is no Setting to activate it
In V1, there was an option to sync project files, so they were updated automatically when changed. In V2, you need to remove and add the file again to see any updates. The sync indicator is still visible on the left side of each file, but there seems to be no option to activate sync. It would be great to have that feature back.
Thank you and best regards, Max

I’ve added this in v2.16. To avoid confusion with Cloud Sync, I called it “Linked Sources” in v2. You can find it in Project Settings > Linked Sources. You can mount it as read-only or read-write. You can also configure the project to always ask on file edit tool call or not.

I’ve found a better way of working around the inability to sync files across multiple folders. I now store all my context in text in an Airtable, and use the MCP server to interact with Airtable, creating context / memories that can be quickly filtered for efficient retrieval. This allows me to centralise / automate my context. I’ve got to say, the MCP interactions are sooooo much quicker than v1, so this way of working is much better than my previous approach. The way in which the AI (I’m typically using DeepSeek) is able to interact with Airtable via the MCP server to do some complicated stuff is very impressive and I won’t be looking back.
