I had the same issue recently and found the answer within createItem() 🙂 https://developer.apple.com/documentation/fileprovider/nsfileproviderreplicatedextension/3656549-createitem When you are returning the completionHandler, you'll find a boolean option to fetch the content from remote. Simply returning false will not trigger the fetchContents() anymore. If you are returning a specific type of error along with the successful completionHandler, there is a chance that you'll trigger fetchContents() again which i assume not to be the case here.

If the Finder Sync Extension were to be in a different application, just listening to the directory. Is it possible to get the context menu on the Cloud Storage Path. ?

Hi Guys, is there any updates about this issue ?
