Elon Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 I am new to Alfred I can't seem to index or cache my google drive. I've given the mac all the required permissions, eg. full drive access but all I get is one beep when I try to index google drive. Any advice?? I've downloaded google drive workflow as well Elon Link to comment
vitor Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 Welcome @Elon, 29 minutes ago, Elon said: I can't seem to index or cache my google drive. That’s a know issue with Google Drive not being indexable from Spotlight (whose index Alfred uses). It isn’t related to Alfred, it affects macOS in general. But you can work around it with Alfred. 31 minutes ago, Elon said: I've downloaded google drive workflow as well That’s what you need to do, but you have to use the Workflow to index and search the drive. Make sure to follow the guide. If you have any questions, please ask them in that thread (don’t forget the requested information). Link to comment

vitor Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 @Elon I can only start looking into this when I get the diagnostics output. See my previous post. Link to comment

vitor Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 You need to fix the path to the Google Drive directory. The post I linked before explains how to get where yours is located and how to configure it in the Workflow. Follow the links it points you to. Link to comment
Elon Posted June 22, 2022 Author Share Posted June 22, 2022 how do i change this file path? Link to comment
Elon Posted June 22, 2022 Author Share Posted June 22, 2022 I've read the links that you sent, but I still don't know how. Elon Link to comment
Elon Posted June 22, 2022 Author Share Posted June 22, 2022 It looks like this is the correct file path Link to comment
vitor Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 @Elon Please don‘t post serially, it makes it hard to follow your questions. You edit the value by double clicking it. 7 minutes ago, Elon said: It looks like this is the correct file path macOS says that’s unlikely, as per the diagnostics. Spaces matter, you have to make sure the path is exact. The links I’ve sent you explain the process. Make sure you understand it and follow it slowly. That is something you have to change yourself, there are no further details other than what has been explained and linked to. Link to comment
