Modifying a file/folder in the shared folder isn't seen without a refresh in the guest. It would be great to add a filesystem "notify". Although there has been several attempt to add it to the webdav RFC, there is still no standard for that.
Some webdav discussions: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-dist-auth/2014AprJun/0000.html For Spice, we could use an out of band protocol addition.
Once libsoup has webdav support, it would be fun and relatively easy to create a custom channel for subscribing to changes on a folder/collection (that's essentially how smb does, so I guess that's enough for a filesystem protocol) It's essentially just a phodav & gvfs implementation then. Eventually, it might be a good idea to write an IETF RFC about this.
