nickov Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 (edited) Hello. I have just installed Google Drive File Stream and a new Volume was added that contains all the files. I have added the volume in Alfred Search Scope, but I cannot search for the files in Alfred. In the Drive File Stream volume I have some files that are available offline and som that are online only. I saw in the forum another person who had the same issue, and the recommendation was to add the new volume to the search scope in Alfred. I have done this, but it is still not working. Any help is appreciated. BR, -Niclas Alfred 3.5.1 Pre-release MacOS 10.13 Edited October 18, 2017 by nickov Link to comment
deanishe Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Does Spotlight find the files? macOS doesn't index remote volumes (except afp:// ones). Link to comment
nickov Posted October 18, 2017 Author Share Posted October 18, 2017 (edited) Hello. Thanks for your reply. No. Spotlight does not find the files. So a Google Drive File Stream volume is not an afp:// volume? --> And thus macOS will not index that volume. ---> And it will not be searchable in Alfred (or Spotlight).

deanishe Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 I have no idea how this File Stream works, but no, If Spotlight doesn’t know about the files, neither does Alfred. If you can enable indexing on the volume, then it will work with both. I suggest you google that, or ask on a Google forum or macOS forum, like Ask Different. Someone on here might be able to help you, but at heart it’s a Google Drive/Spotlight question, not an Alfred one. nickov 1 Link to comment
