Server not found to add followers files list

Post by Sebas »

Hi,

I don't find the server when i would like to add this one in "option/followers and add"

My server for example (L:) doesn't exist on the list of everything selection.

But this server is accessible to my computer.
It's a data network drive with NTFS files.

Can you help me please?
Thank you

To add your mapped network drive to your Everything index:
  • In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
  • Click the Folders tab.
  • Click Add....
  • Select your mapped network drive (for example: L: drive) and click OK.
  • Click OK.


You will be unable to select your mapped network drives if Everything is running as an administrator.

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 (right click the Everything tray icon and click Exit).
  • Restart Everything.


Mapped network drives are listed under This PC.

To manually add your mapped network drive to your Everything index:
  • In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
  • Click the Folders tab.
  • Click Add....
  • Manually type in your mapped network drive and click OK.
  • Click OK.

I do and check all your step and it's doesn't work.

I can't select my mapped network drive, it's always open and not select.

    ---this will show a debug console---
  • At the top of the console will be the following line:
    IsAdmin x
  • if x is a 1, then Everything is running as an administrator.
  • if x is a 0, then Everything is running as a standard user.
To close the debug console:
  • In Everything, type in the following search and press ENTER:
    /debug

Does adding your network share (\\server\share) work under Tools -> Options -> Folders?
