How do I search within the google drive that's within Finder?

[ClassicRob]

So you can set up Backup and Sync so all of your Google Drive folders and files are located in your computer files.  You can do the same with Dropbox.  With Dropbox, I'm able to do the normal command of 'filename to find that file and navigate it like I can navigate the rest of finder through Alfred.  With Drive, I can't.  The best I can do is pull up the overall folder for my Google Drive.  Does anyone have thoughts or workflows that solve this?

I don’t know what’s the current state of it, but historically this hasn’t been possible because of Google’s implementation. Search and you’ll find a bunch of duplicates of this question.

That's Google Drive File Stream (the stupid new software). Backup and Sync is the old Google Drive software, and that used to work okay.

 

Wouldn't be surprising if they'd messed up Backup and Sync, too, though.
