I don't have a solution for this other than I switched from using Google Drive to using Dropbox and had no issues

@Vero It's an internal drive - the machine is a hackintosh in case you were wondering. I started to wonder whether that fact had anything to do with what I was experiencing, so I tried using another Macbook and was encountering the exact same issue. So then I started to think it had something to do with 'Mac 1' or Google Drive. I decided to start syncing with Dropbox instead and the problem was fixed instantly! Both Google Drive and Dropbox are set to mirror rather and on-demand syncing, so I can't really explain it. @vitor Attached the screenshot for the file in Google Drive and also included the same info for the working version that is in Dropbox. I played around with the permission settings, but that didn't fix my issue. A couple of weird differences between the two files is that they're showing different "open with" apps and also the file sizes are different. I'm puzzled as to why I have issues with GD but not Dropbox. I use GD to sync a bunch of other app preferences, such as Keyboard Maestro and haven't experienced the same thing. Any explanation you might have at this point would only be to satisfy my own curiosity 😃

I actually get the same error. Completed this, but now I see several errors like this on the top of Alfred Preferences:

@Vero I completed the above steps, but still get the Alfred startup error pictured

@Vero The 2TB New NVME is my startup disk and is not an external drive. What other troubleshooting steps can your recommend?

I am having issues syncing my preferences to my 2nd mac. The preferences file is in my Google Drive (which is mirrored for offline use). When I point Alfred to the correct folder, it restarts as per the procedure, but then I get the message that the preferences package is missing. When I click continue, my preferences are not loaded, but Alfred still knows where the location of the file ought to be. Both macs are using the same version of Alfred (5.1.2). The 1st mac is running the pre-release version of Sonoma and the 2nd mac is quite a bit older running Ventura, if that makes a difference.
