The reload button long ago disappeared in Ubuntu's Files application (Nautilus?). It makes sense for new files to appear in a folder on a Samba server, for example, a downloaded file.
Now I have to leave the folder and open it again or I do a search for the file. Both options are extra meaningless work. Is it possible to adjust this behaviour with dconf-editor or something else, and if it is, how to do it?
Hit F5 or Ctrl+r to have the folder refreshed.
Alternatively, the button is already there, however not on the front. Click the down arrow (tooltip: View options), then "Reload".
Use a file manager that hasn't been cut down to the bare minimum.
nemo still has the reload button.
(might need to be enabled in Preferences -> Toolbar)
sudo apt install nemo
See here: How to set Nemo as the default file manager in Ubuntu?
