Thanks!

The button is in the location bar.

Sure, but its far easier when changing views to click a button that would be only a minimal distance from the cursor as it is...

Yes well fact is that technically the gvfs backend should always refresh, so ideally the button is not required at all. With that in mind, not many people (testers) were using the button and there are various known keyboard shortcuts (Ctrl+R, F5) to do the same thing.

they removed the reload/refresh button from the default in new version at some point
you can add it back in view>configure toolbar...
then reload close to the bottom
