    No Google Drive files in Windows search results


    I am also asking this question on the Google Product Forums.

    Basically, the Google Drive folder is synced onto my data partition. Files are present on my HDD, the whole folder is indexed, but nothing inside it comes up in my Windows search results.

    I have tried rebuilding the index from scratch, unindexing and re-indexing the Drive folder, and making sure it has full permissions as per this link:

    Windows 7 Index Search does not work in Google Drive folder - Super User

    Also, "Allow files in this folder to have contents indexed" option is on.


    I had this problem in Windows 8.1 as well, but I forgot how I fixed it.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks

    :)

    'no items match your search' / google drive help

    hello! classic problem from what i can tell:

    trying to search for files in windows 10 and get the 'no items match your search', when there's clearly items in there.

    i uninstalled google drive because i hated it, which could be part of the issue. i've also heard it could be permissions. getting nowhere.

    any help appreciated!
