Google Drive — List File Stream contents from Google Drive

[John H]

Thanks for the quick reply:

 

"ls /Volumes/GoogleDrive" results in:

 

My Drive      Shared drives

 

If I do "find" in terminal the list the entire drive contents, all goes well (thousands of files displayed) until the end:

 

/Volumes/GoogleDrive/.TemporaryItems
find: /Volumes/GoogleDrive/.TemporaryItems: Operation not permitted
/Volumes/GoogleDrive/.Trashes
find: /Volumes/GoogleDrive/.Trashes: Operation not permitted
/Volumes/GoogleDrive/.VolumeIcon.icns

Change google_drive_path to /Volumes/GoogleDrive/My Drive and try again.

As far as the system can see, there are no paths in that directory. If you do ls -R /Volumes/GoogleDrive, you’ll only find the top directories. Are you sure you can see the files in the Finder? That looks something exclusive to your Google Drive setup. You’ll have to figure out what is different/wrong with it.

[John H]

ls -R in /Volumes/GoogleDrive works fine and dumps thousands of listings - no issues seeing anything from Terminal...

Change google_drive_path back to /Volumes/GoogleDrive and run diagnostics again.

 

But first, is Alfred listed and selected in System Preferences → Security & Privacy → Privacy → Full Disk Access?

[John H]

Voce e o cara! Obrigado!

 

Making an assumption you speak Portuguese, so if not, you're the man!

 

The issue was full disk access.... it's chugging along now.

I do, yes, though that expression is Brazilian and I’m Portuguese. We would say “És o maior!” (literally “you’re the biggest”).

Great! The clue was that ls worked for you in a Terminal but the diagnostics wasn’t finding any paths. This is a good example of why it’s useful to always send it.

Hi Vitor,

 

I'm having hard time.

I can't search my 3 gdrives account and it would be life saviour.

Can you please help me ?

 

thanks,

I can try, but you need to provide the required information and tell me exactly what is wrong. You haven’t described any issue.

I use the Google Drive workflow (List File Stream contents from Google Drive) and it works great.  There is an environment variable to identify the Google Drive path.  I have two Macs, one for work and one for personal, that I use Alfred on and I sync the preferences between them.  Unfortunately, in the sync process, the environment variables get overridden from my other computer and therefore the workflow fails until I change the path to the correct path which then causes the workflow on the other Mac to fail.  Is it possible to eliminate the syncing for this workflow?  Do I need to turn off preference syncing and turn it back on when I make other preference changes?  Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated.

No, you cannot do it on a per-Workflow basis.

That’s one option, but there may be better ones. What exactly are the paths you use on each machine?

Edited March 23, 2022 by vitor

[jcarrolo]

Thanks for the reply.  Here are the paths that I use:

 

Mac 1

/Volumes/GoogleDrive-112737553631035858984

/Volumes/GoogleDrive-103236156896470715725

 

Mac 2

/Volumes/GoogleDrive

 

Also, not sure if this is relevant but /Volumes/GoogleDrive-112737553631035858984 on Mac 1 is the same Google Drive account as /Volumes/GoogleDrive on Drive 2 but obviously is named differently because I have two accounts on that computer.

 

Obrigado

[vitor]

@jcarrolo It is possible to modify the Workflow to fit your use-case, but that requires removing checks which are important for diagnostics. As such, and because your case is so far unique, I can instead give you instructions on how to modify it just enough for your particular situation. Private message incoming.

Thank you

I did run the :gdlaunchd.

 

Any help would be immensely great.

Do it again, with the debugger open, and post the output.

That’s the debugger, not the diagnostic (!gddiagnostic). But now you’ve disabled :gdlaunchd, so you’ll have to enable it again and wait for the cache to be rebuilt.

 

I just reread your previous posts. What exactly do you mean when you say you “can’t search”? What are you doing to search for files? What exactly are you typing into Alfred?

Ok, I run :gdlaunchd again now.

 

Seems like I can search 1 of the 3 gdrives that I have running.

 

Is possible to search all 3?

 

I'm typin gd .....

 

thanks

That is explained in the instructions. Change google_drive_path to include all paths, separated by commas.

I honestly can't understand who to change the path. 😓
