Undeniably, Everything and Dropbox are all God-class software! The former can be in a very short instant search the entire hard disk files, the latter can be conveniently in many computers, mobile phone synchronization between the files, I believe many people and small, like me, will use this two tools.
However, careful friends may find that Everything often can not search the contents of the Dropbox folder, while the other location of the files are normal! This problem has been bothering me for a long, and I found this symptom on different computers. Through groping, small weave finally discovered a really can solve their conflict of simple and perfect method.
First attempt to resolve the conflict between Everything and Dropbox:
The first thing I thought about was having Everything rebuild the search index, so I closed the Everything and deleted the "everything.db" in its folder (the database that holds the file information), and when I started Everything again it would index the file and generate a new DB files, you can generally find the files in the Dropbox folder.
However, I found that this method in one or more times after the restart, Everything again ill search Dropbox file. It's really annoying to delete the rebuild DB files manually every time. I have been using this for a long time ...
The perfect solution to the encounter:
One day there is a need to "exclude" a folder in the Everything search scope, into the Everything "tool"-> "option"-> "Exclude"-> "Add Directory", originally thought that its exclusion function can only be excluded this directory, Didn't expect to be seen by me a humble little option:
When I realized its existence, I immediately associate with the Dropbox folder I can not search, in the spirit of the dead horse as a horse doctor attitude, try to Dropbox folder "included" came in ... Try it, you can search it, try again, no problem! Well...... It is necessary to solve the problem of exotic flowers with wonderful methods ... As for why, Xiao Bian I also said not clear ... (Khan ...) )
Well... The problem is almost even solved. But later small make up found that do so, can only search to Dropbox folder, the others are not found. But that's a good thing to do. As long as you conveniently put all of their C, D, E disk root directory is "included" in the OK (complete operation of the following figure):
All right! Perfect solution. If you also and small make up I met the same situation, might as well try this method. It will bring you unexpected surprises.
