Struggling with sync_list and business shared directories

[nicokist]

Dear all:

I have thoroughly searched the documentation but I am still confused by this. My reading is that if I have the following sync_list file:

*.xlsx
*.xlsm

I should expect it to download "Business_shared_folder/test.xlsx" and Business_shared_folder/subfolder/test2.xlsx; however, instead I get the following message:

Skipping shared folder shortcut - excluded by sync_list config

This can be resolved by removing sync_list or putting 'Business_shared_folder' into the sync list, however then all files in Business_shared_folder, including those with different extensions, are downloaded.

I have also tried the following sync_list file:

./Business_shared_folder/*.xlsx

Which I would expect to work, however that also leads to the message 'Skipping shared folder shortcut - excluded by sync_list config'.

I am on the latest v2.5.3-8-g5d45e24, running inside Docker.
