When syncing a content type with a file field, it's field storage for 'Enable Display Field' checkbox does not sync over thus it is marked as NULL in the database (
Create a content type with a file field on the server. Ensure under Field Storage, 'Enable Display field' checkbox is checked.
Create an example content of the aforementioned content type.
Sync it to the client using entity_share_client. Now check to see value of [field_name]_display in the node__[field_name] table.
Assert it is NULL
For now, my quick workaround is to manually set that NULL to 1 using SQL
UPDATE node__field_name SET field_name_display=1 WHERE field_name_display IS NULL;
Add logic in entity_share_client that does this for incoming files automatically
