How to add sharepoint online folders

Post by passuff1 »

Hey everybody,

I would like to add Sharepoint online documents folder (http address). I can access them in Windows Explorer but not add them to file list, which is logical.
Is there any workaround how Sharepoint folders can be added to indexing?

Please try mapping a network drive to your sharepoint folder then adding that folder to your Everything index under Tools -> Options -> Folders.

Please make sure Everything is installed correctly and not running as an administrator:
  • 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 (right click the Everything tray icon and click Exit).
  • Restart Everything.

I already tried it but my mistake was to map it as a folder instead of a drive.
Literally Everything is working now.
Thanks a lot!

Please check the Everything verbose debug logs:
  • Copy and paste the following into your Everything search box:
    /debug
  • Press ENTER in your Everything search box.
    ---this will show a debug console---
  • Copy and paste the following into your Everything search box:
    /verbose
  • Press ENTER in your Everything search box.
  • The currently folder being rescanned is shown in Green text.
  • Is Everything getting stuck on a particular folder? -or not indexing anything?


To close the debug console:
  • Copy and paste the following into your Everything search box:
    /debug
  • Press ENTER in your Everything search box.

Thanks for the hint. So I can confirm that everything is scanning the connected drive with SharePoint data. Anyway I can't find files stored there.

Please wait for the scan to complete.

Files from the sharepoint drive are not shown in the results until the entire scan has completed.



Please make sure no search options are checked under the Search menu (eg: uncheck match case, uncheck match whole words, uncheck regex)

Please make sure the Everything filter is active under the Search menu.



While scanning, Everything will show Rescanning <sharepoint drive> under Tools -> Options -> Folders.
Please let me know if the issue persists after the scan completes.
