One thing to note is that I'm not using "Google Drive vXX" (I don't even know where to download this one?), but "Backups and Sync from Google":

Aha! The `com.google.gsheet` does the trick. But thanks for the best practices tip, I will take a look at some resources on how to utilise Alfred better 🙇‍♂️

Is Spotlight finding this file?

Yes:

If so, does Alfred's file search mode find the file (using the spacebar prefix, or open keyword).

Also yes:

Ok, maybe I'm just doing something silly. Other (non g-drive files) appear in Alfred even without the spacebar prefix. I can work with the spacebar prefix, but would expect it to just work even without it. Can I set it up somehow?

@Vero I get this. Tried to enable everything in Spotlight, but the same result.

@Michal Bryxí Are Google Spreadsheets real files or do they just take you to the Google Sheets in your browser?

All of them. Links, files, folders. Alfred can't discover any of them:

Curiously enough exactly one folder from the whole gdrive is there:

I have the same problem as people describing above. The result after the troubleshooting tool ran is:
