Hi,

I am a mega supporter but I intended to upgrade to legendary, but misclicked. Am I still able to upgrade? I tried to go back but it didn't work.

Thanks!

Although the solution above worked, the search function does not seem to work as well as I'm used to Alfred working. I often cannot find folders I frequently use etc etc

Hi,

Step 2 appears to have worked! Thanks for the help

Hi,

Thanks for rapid response!

To be clear, this is a new macbook pro which I have just bought, but it does have many files that were transferred over with Migration Assistant. Regardless, I have re-granted permissions following the above link. This appears to have changed the diagnostics to run successfully, but the files still do not come up in when searching with Alfred.

In terms of the file, it seems to be every file on my mac. But as an example, here is a file from within iCloud that I cannot find:

Thanks!

 

Hi there,

Just upgraded my computer and downloaded Alfred, but I cannot seem to search for anything when it comes to files/folders. I am on the latest version of Alfred and MacOS.,

I have tried resetting my file searching index but it didn't affect it.

I am pretty sure I have granted all the relevant permissions, but interestingly, when I run the diagnostics tool it says:
"Check if file is readable...

❌ Alfred does not have permissions to read this file.

Check if Full Disk Access is granted in the macOS Security & Privacy preferences"

I have done this, so I am not sure what do?

Any help would be hugely appreciated!
