The only problem is that when I restart the machine it appears the index is gone and when I run sudo mdutil -s /Volumes/GoogleDrive/ it indicates that indexing is disabled. It takes a while to index the 80 gigabyte drive and then it works as I like it. Spotlight does not automatically index the drive, and I need to run: sudo mdutil -i on /Volumes/GoogleDrive/ every time I boot the machine up. However, it seems I am having problems indexing the drive with Spotlight. I rely on Google Drive file stream for my work and I have so far managed to successfully install the program. I recently got issued a Macbook Air M1, 2020 running macOS Big Sur 11.2.3.
