There were only about 5 files in that folder. I deleted all but the ones for Canva and Tunnelbear. Should I be looking somewhere else for the cause of this notification? Link to comment

You should also be able to turn them off in System Settings → General → Login Items. Unfortunately, that interface is not helpful in finding the origin. Link to comment
benwhiting Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 Thanks for the extra help. I've disabled as much background access as I comfortably can. We'll see if that sorts things out. Link to comment
jgla Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 Google release a new version of drive that attaches different (now a "location). The google drive workflow will search and find the file it seems, but I cannot open it (it does nothing when I select the file I want to open). I tried changing the setting for the new "location" but does not seem to help. Support suggested I post this diagnotic file, but this site does not allow that file type. Thanks. Link to comment
Vero Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 @jgla I proposed that you post a reply here: And include the output of typing "!gddiagnostic", which is the specific output of the Google Drive workflow's diagnostics (which is different from the Alfred diagnostics you sent me by email) Hope this helps, and welcome to the forum! Cheers, Vero Link to comment

After you correct the location, you have to run :gdrebuildcache and wait for it to finish. Otherwise it’s checking the old data. You have quite a number of files, so it can take a while. 1 hour ago, jgla said: it does nothing when I select the file I want to open It will always do something. Even if it’s just a message. Open the debugger, set the log output to “All Information”, perform the failing action, and post the output. But only after the previous step and waiting. Link to comment

vitor Posted December 9, 2022 Author Share Posted December 9, 2022 Welcome @Victor Chor, Please don’t open the same issue in multiple places, and please explain what you’re facing and what you tried instead of just a diagnostics dump. Your case is explained at the top of the thread and on GitHub. I’ve replied there to keep the conversation to one place. Link to comment

If I have two Google Drive accounts are login to my Mac, can I save both paths to the Google Drive Alfred workflow? Link to comment

convivio Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 Everyday I wake up to this, no matter what I do... 😞 It seems unlikely that this workflow actually needs a daily update... there must be a setting, file or cache somewhere that i could reset to get it to stop? Thanks! Link to comment
Vero Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 @convivio Did you click the "Update" button in the bottom right to allow it to update? If you have and the update notification keeps appearing, could you please let me know whether you're syncing your preferences and, if so, where to? Link to comment
convivio Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 Yes, of course, I click update every day. Preferences are not synced. Link to comment
vitor Posted December 19, 2022 Author Share Posted December 19, 2022 How long has it been happening? Is the version to update always the same (you can see it in the window)? Are you sure you only have one version of the workflow installed?Delete every installation of the workflow.Install this version.Run :gdrebuildcache.Lets see if that fixes it. In the future, please ask questions about a workflow in its own thread. Everyone benefits from it because the conversation is focused and the people who can help you are notified. In addition, as requested please provide the output of !gddiagnostic. Link to comment
convivio Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 no idea how to "Run :gdrebuildcache" Thought I was in my "own thread", lol now idea how to provide output of "!gddiagnostic" thanks for your help Link to comment

Google probably updated you to the new version which changes its location. You’ll need to update it for changes to continue to be detected. Link to comment
jlgtx Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 (edited) Now Google Drive has the "Enable Spotlight to search streaming files" option (disabled by default and buried in the settings, because what the heck Google?!), which means that DFS is now up to, what, early 2000's feature set? So, what are the odds that you could add an option to do full content indexing to this workflow? That's really the nice thing about Spotlight, after all. If I remembered what I named the dang file/folder, I'd probably already know where it was, right? Edited December 20, 2022 by jlgtx Link to comment

I don’t get what you’re asking for. Still, two things to note:The method the Google Drive app is using to show up in Spotlight is a different API. Results show up slower and they’re not added to the index with all other files.Some people have reported that with Google Drive’s switch to the macOS File Provider API, files now show under regular Alfred searches. It’s not yet clear why it’s not the same for everyone, but try that too:You may need to go into Alfred Preferences → Features → Default Results → Search Scope → Reset… (bottom right) and try some of the options. If it works, It’d be useful to know which of the settings made it work for you. Link to comment
jlgtx Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 1 hour ago, vitor said: I don’t get what you’re asking for. I'm asking for the plugin to (optionally) maintain an index not just of file/folder names, but of file content. If I search for "cheese," I want to see anything with "cheese" in the name, and also anything with "cheese" anywhere in the contents of the file itself. I was surprised to find that Google Drive's Spotlight integration actually does seem to include content indexing. I haven't pushed it very hard, but it did find the cheese when the Alfred plugin didn't. Link to comment
vitor Posted December 20, 2022 Author Share Posted December 20, 2022 That would require a huge database and essentially replicating a mini Spotlight. Link to comment
