Google Drive: Lets you disconnect the Google Drive folder for your Google account.
The default is to have everything in the folder automatically synced, but if you prefer, you can specify only certain folders to be synced.
My Mac: Allows you to specify which folders within the Google Drive folder are automatically synced to the cloud. It's still doing it's initial sync, but I can already see the files it has downloaded show up in the everything search, so this may be a better solution.īeware, Insync now adds a guessed extension (based on MIME-type) to extensionless filenames.The Google Drive Preferences window opens, displaying a three-tab interface. I bought a license for this years ago, but at the time it didn't seem very reliable so I stopped using it. it synchronizes all files to your local disk. I'm going to try a different setup now: I re-installed Insync ( ), which is a 3rd party client for google drive that works like the old google drive client used to, i.e. Indeed, when I remove the G-drive in Everything, the problem was gone. It only recently dawned on me that this behavior may be related tot he Everything indexing process. However, I always had the issue of the GoogleDriveFS.exe process consume 1 CPU core almost continuously. I had Everything set up with the G-drive as additional folder to search for over a year. I would like to add my experience on this topic. this will show a debug console, the current folder scan is shown in Green text. In Everything, type in the following search and press ENTER:. I've had reports of scanning taking forever. If you can add your Google drive, does Everything take forever to scan it? -The status bar will show Scanning.įrom my testing, Everything scans about 10,000 files in 1 second (or 1 million files in about 2 minutes). Exit Everything (right click the Everything tray icon and click Exit). In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options. If not, please try running Everything as a standard user: Is your Google drive shown in Everything from Tools -> Options -> Folders -> Add?
Google Drive File System appears to work OK for me on Windows.
