Classic Shell: Forum

Hi. I need some assistance on a small issue: I use Google Drive which syncs to my Windows 10 laptop, but the search bar doesn't scan that directory, and I don't have a means in the settings to include it. Can someone help?

The start menu only searches the indexed files. I don't know how to add the Google Drive to the search index.

The Google Drive folder that syncs with your online Google Drive account is usually inside your user profile folder at C:\Users\{your user name}. Right click it and choose "Include in Library" and add it to some library so it is indexed. Or instead of adding it to a Library, open Control Panel -> Indexing Options. Add this folder to the indexed locations using the Modify button.

See this search box usage guide to understand how the search works and how to include additional folders: viewtopic.php?f=4&t=1588
