Search Cloud Drives in Powertoys Run #23561

Closed bigplayer-ai closed 7 months ago

bigplayer-ai commented 1 year ago

Description of the new feature / enhancement

Hey, Can you add Search Cloud Drives in Powertoys Run? I have onedrive + google drive + iCloud setted up on my Windows, But I can't search them from my windows only from the browser. I was wondering if someone can add search cloud drives feature in powertoys run this would be a huge productivity plus.

Scenario when this would be used?

searching for documents on my work drive searching for passports on my private drive... etc.

Supporting information

I tried to index the drives in windows settings, there is no option for that. Tried troubleshooting attributing the drives in cmd attrib "C:\Onedrive" -I nothing worked.

Agreed - Powertoys Run cannot return results from Google Drive and that'd be a huge bonus as that's where I keep a lot of my most important personal files (e.g. passport scans, manuals, personal finance spreadsheets....)

Check out #23159 - I fixed this on my machine by syncing my cloud files on OneDrive to my local machine, and then in Advanced Indexing Options, making sure the synced folders were included.
