The refresh feature allows you to refresh the contents of a share. When you refresh a share, a search is initiated to find all the Azure objects including blobs and files that were added to the cloud since the last refresh. These additional files are then downloaded to refresh the contents of the share on the device.

Even if the refresh has partial failures, the operation is considered successful and the timestamp is updated. The refresh error logs are also updated.
