Windows 10: 'Indexed Locations' missing folders present on the C drive

I have lots of files saved in a Box folder and in a OneDrive folder saved on the C drive, under 'Users' and my name.These folders do NOT appear in the Indexed Locations, and, once indexing is complete, files and their content are not showing up in searches.It seems that the indexing function is blind to these folders.Here is the Indexed Locations screenshot.Here is the Windows Explorer screenshot.As you can see, Box is present in the second but not the first.Is this fixable?

Drive missing from indexer search roots

While trying to investigate issues with files not being found by the search indexer, I have noticed that there seems to be an issue with a drive missing from the search roots. Some details that might be important:

• The compute has three internal drives:
  • OS Drive C:, SSD, all the usual system partitions
  • Data drive E:, HDD, two partitions (the other one doesn't need to be indexed)
  • Data drive D:, Storage space, one partition

• In "Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows Search\CrawlScopeManager\Windows\SystemIndex\SearchRoots", only C:\ and D:\ are listed
• The indexer diagnostics tool lists "file:///C:\" and "file:///E:\" under "Search roots", which contradicts the registry key
• Under "What is being indexed?", the tool lists only paths starting with C:\ and E:\, where the paths starting with E:\ are on D:\ in reality. The same list for excluded paths appears in the Settings app under "Searching Windows"
• The "Indexing options" dialog shows both folders on D:\ and E:\ as being indexed (when clicking on "Modify"). In the "Index these locations" view, no location from E:\ is actually listed
• The search mode is set to "Classic"

What is going on here? Why is the Indexer diagnostics tool confusing D:\ and E:\? Why are locations from E:\ not appearing in the list of locations to index? Is there any way to add a drive to the search roots/let the indexer recreate them entirely?

Please let me know if any additional information is required

 

OneDrive is missing from my list of folders that can be indexed

I have the same exact issue. When I go to modify the search folders, the folders for OneDrive an OneDrive for Business are not present, even if I click on "show all locations".

These folders are located in my user folder, in C:\users\xxxxx\ (where xxxxx is my user name).

If I open Windows Explorer and go to that folder, the OneDrive folders are shown, but when I look at the list of folders to index, they are missing. But all the other folders are present!

 

Vista Ultimate - 'User' Folder Location

No tried that.

Can copy the entire folder to D; but Windows still points to C as the location. Can change personal folders location to a folder on D;, but this still leaves hidden files etc on C;. Thus meaning there are 2 Users folders. Have managed to change the Public folder location to D;, with some registry tweaks, but this doesnt seem to work for the entire folder.

any more suggestions
