Didn't work @vitor I added pruebaalfred as user with rights over the file, but didn't work either. Same issue as before.

@vitor I have tried both Dropbox and iCloud, ensuring that they are set to be offline. Currently, on my iMac (one of the computers with the issue), I have Alfred working with a copy of the Alfred.preferences file that I am also using without any problems on my newer Mac Air M1 with Google Drive, except that this file is offline and is not synced with my other devices. This non-synced file is located in another user's folder on the same computer. These are the two files. On the left is the file that is not synced, and on the right is the one synced with GDrive, which only works on the MacAir and not on the iMac or MacMini (both Intel).

@Vero Please, refer to my previous screenshots for more details about Alfred app not allowing me to set a sync location. I've double-checked that Google Drive is set to be offline. Actually, as you can see in my previous post and screenshots, the issue appears as well when I try to set ~/Alfred/ or Dropbox as sync location.

@Vero I uninstalled a few apps that could manipulate files, but it didn't help. Regarding your other question, when I navigate to ~/Alfred/, I can actually see the Alfred preferences package, but the Alfred app doesn't allow me to set it as a sync folder. After checking all of that, I created a new user and installed Alfred 5 again. I then created a new folder ~/Alfred/ and set it as the sync location. Now, it seems to work. Afterwards, I copied the updated Alfred.alfredpreferences package (the one I'm using with Gdrive) to ~/Alfred/, and it worked as well. But when I install Gdrive and try to set the sync location, I'm prompted again with the same error message. Returning to my previous user, I tried again to set ~/Alfred/ as the sync location, but it didn't work. However, when from this non-temporary user, I set the ~/Alfred/ folder of the temporary user as the sync location, it now works. The other interesting thing is that I have another Mac mini (Intel) in which I'm experiencing the same issue. However, on my MacBook Air M1, everything works nicely. .

@Vero I did as you advised, but still getting the same error: Thank you

Thank you for your contribution, but in my case it doesn't seem to be a solution:

Just to provide some additional information on the issue. I'm experiencing the problem with an intel iMac 2017 (Ventura 13.6.3). I use Google Drive 85.0.30.0, and I have made sure that the folder where the Alfredpreferences file is stored has offline access granted. I use Alfred 5.1.4. However, the message that I get is this: When I try to change the sync to Dropbox, the issue is the same. Furthermore, if then I try to make any change in the configuration of the preferences, I get another error: Thank you for your support

Hi. Did you finally manage to sort out the issue? I'm going through the same issue with Gdrive. Thank you
