Google Drive Scan Problem ( Dec 2021 )

[micheleranauro]

Hello, I am writing here to try to find a clever solution to this. I have installed Everythin g on new hardware (with Win10Pro), and it struggles to do a full scan of Google Drive, which is a fixed volume, but to be "seen" by Everything it has to be placed in the Folders of Everything category. This did not happen to me with the previous computer, with which I never had this problem. Nobody is able to help me on this, to allow me to do a complete scan of the Google Drive folder, and its subfolders. Thank you in advance and I wish you a Merry Christmas 2021 Michele Ranauro

Please try disabling folder_update_thread_mode_background to improve scanning performance:

-Is Everything getting stuck on a particular folder? or is it just slow?
