The -R switch says to do it recursively through subfoldersĭepending on the number of subfolders, this command might take a while, but you can leave the Terminal window open with the command running in the background while you do other things. The ls command doesn't change files, but merely lists all folders/files Open Terminal and go to the top Dropbox/OneDrive folder, then run this command: This also makes the File Search Troubleshooter always yield positive results, because to test a file you have to first navigate to Finder, thus adding it to the Spotlight/Alfred index.Ī workaround that I've created, which appears to be working for the most part, is to run a small command in Terminal that forces all the folders to enumerate and therefore they get added to the index.
Navigate to the folder and immediately Alfred has the file in its searches. Due to this, the "files" never make it to the Spotlight index and therefore Alfred doesn't show them. It appears that Dropbox Beta and OneDrive (which also now uses Apple's File Provider API) the contents of the folder don't load until you navigate to that folder.
