maikfrank Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 I set up my new MBA and suddenly cannot find files in my local onedrive folder. The cloudstorage location is added in search scope. The file can be found in spotlight The troubleshooting guide finds the file and returns green mark When I try this on my older mac with similar setup, the file shows up. What am I possibly missing? thanks! Link to comment
Vero Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 @maikfrank There are a few more things to check (and I'm having to take guesses as I can't see the metadata for the files - In the future, it would be best to copy the output of the File Search Troubleshooting rather than just provide a screenshot of the end of it, as the metadata itself is very useful) Did you migrate your data to macOS Monterey from another Mac or a Time Machine backup? If so, take a look at the Monterey indexing page as there's a bug in the Monterey Migration Assistant that could cause this behaviour. Could you try moving a file or two to your user directory in macOS instead of OneDrive to see if files are found then? This will help establish whether the issue is specific to files stored in OneDrive. Let me know how you get on Cheers, Vero Link to comment
maikfrank Posted August 9, 2022 Author Share Posted August 9, 2022 Hi Vero! Great to hear from you.. I have copied the full output below. To your questions: Yes, I migrated from and M1 to a M2 machine. I followed the troubleshooting guide and widened the search scope is mentioned int the article. I can find the file! Then I reset the search scope, and then file can't be found. I then copied the file to my user directory (default downloads folder) and it still cannot be found. Troubleshooting checks out fine there, too. I did notice that it has a unique file type (itmz) and I added it to the search file types. Still cannot be found. This is so strange, as It works fine with my intel mac that has virtually the same setup. What else could i try? Thanks! Starting Diagnostics...

Then I reset the search scope, and then file can't be found. @maikfrank You'll need to keep the wide search scope, as this is a workaround for a flaw in the macOS Monterey Migration Assistant. Resetting the search scope puts you back to square one. Unfortunately, this isn't something we have control over as it's an Apple issue. Other ways of bypassing the issue include setting up a new user profile or setting up your Mac without using Migration Assistant. Hopefully this issue won't carry through to macOS Ventura, which is currently in beta. Hope this helps Link to comment
maikfrank Posted August 11, 2022 Author Share Posted August 11, 2022 Hi Vero, thank you for the clear explanation. Guess, I have to live with it then Overall does not impact me much, so all good. Case closed for now! Cheers, Maik Link to comment
Trianta Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 Hi Vero – I had the same problem and solved it by widening the search scope. If this does get solved in Ventura it would be nice to get a reminder (in-app or via email?) to change back to narrower scope (I guess). Cheers Link to comment
afzalive Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 (edited) When I drag the home folder in (in addition to all the other scopes) that are already present, Alfred is able to find the files in ~/Library/CloudStorage. So at least we don't have to widen the scope all the way to "/" Edited September 19, 2022 by afzalive Link to comment
