Hey Christian78,
That's right, if you change the setting it will only apply for newly connected devices. Unfortunately, since the changes in these settings aren't retroactive, there isn't currently a way to force the updated changes to all connected devices.
Possibly, the only way to achieve that would be to remove the members from the folders, and then share the folders again after applying to correct syncing defaults.
I hope that helps to some extent - thanks!

Hey Daphne,
thanks for the quick reply.
Yes, makes sense. Seems like I've set up the config wrong in the beginning. When I now change the setting of the top level folder, this will only affect new connected computers, not the already existing members, isn't it?
Is there a possibility to initiate the existing connected computers to "re-sync" and apply the new setting to all Teamfolders (and all Sub-sub-sub-Folders)?
Thanks again for your help!
