Everything forgets Google Drive folder each bootup

Post by nathanrich »

I have Google Drive streaming. Every time I start my computer I have to add the folder manually to Everything for indexing. It works fine after doing so. Please make it remember the directory.

I guess you have a wrong installation of Everything
into a folder with no write access.

Please make sure Everything is installed correctly and running as a standard user:
  • In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
  • Click the General tab on the left.
  • Check Store settings and data in %APPDATA%\Everything.
  • Uncheck Run as administrator.
  • Check Everything Service. (Please make sure this is tick-checked and not square-checked)
  • Click OK.
  • Exit Everything (from the File menu, click Exit).
  • Restart Everything.
