  1. Hi there, I would like to free up space in my Mac and would want to migrate some of the files I do not use anymore to either one drive or iCloud Drive. I know iCloud Drive can be abit capricious in terms of what is stored in the cloud versus in my Mac itself, hence I am looking at one drive. Having said that , I would like to ask, if I were to build up my filing system in one drive or iCloud or my Mac itself, can I ask can Alfred search within these three areas or is it limited to the Mac. Kind regards.
  2. @Vero - Thank you for your reply. I was talking about notion as an example, but I what I wanted to do is to learn how to use Alfred properly in the sense of being able to search anything within my Mac or iCloud Drive as efficiently as possible. I have been traditionally using tags to label the files but I find it onerous sometimes as I understand Alfred can search via the command tags and things pops up. As such, I was wondering what would be the best practice to organise files so that Alfred can search for them efficiently. I have adhd so I lose things readily. Secondly, concerning workflows, (I am new to automation) and I would like to ask, is there any useful automations that you can recommend to complement in my organisation so things can be searched more efficiently? Kind regards.
  3. Hi all, I am new to use Alfred and I am on a Mac Monterey OS. I am new to this idea of organising my files and I would like to learn what is the best practice so far in being able to search your stuff. I am currently using Sharepoint, but the wiki cannot be searched. Then I went to use Notion, but uploading video files takes a long time. I am assuming that using Macs tag system will help me find my work easier. So I am just wondering could anyone share any tips or work flows to get things started? I was wondering is there a work flow, that tags things downloaded and filter it into the appropriate folder? Just wondering.
  4. I tried searching for tags abc and nothing shows up. Is it because I did not restart Alfred. The files are stored in iCloud Drive. Could this be the reason why it is not detected. Also with regards to permissions, I can only grant Alfred permission under developer tools. is this correct?
  5. Hi there, I am a Mac user and I am learning how to organise my files using the tag system. I tried the following: OneDrive/sharepoint - slow uploading; no tags; wiki can't search within the text but with files downloaded Notion - slow uploading of files ; great for wiki. Google drive - organisation is not that there; but great for collaboration, So I have finally settled for this. I am interested in creating workflows with tags appended to it to organise my files and I am wondering if you can guide me. I use outlook as my main email and the rest is just a mess, I suffer from adhd so my sense of organisation is not there and I am using a tag system to fit that style., Any tips and tricks would be much appreciated.
