Please see if your G: drive is listed under Tools -> Options -> Folders.
-If it is listed, click Remove.



If the G: drive is still present on your system, please try unchecking "Include in database":
  • In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
  • Click the FAT tab on the left.
  • Select your G: drive and uncheck Include in database.
  • Click the NTFS tab on the left.
  • Select your G: drive and uncheck Include in database.
  • Click OK.

If i click remove it from Folders, no problem. But i don't want to do it everytime.

When I close the Google drive app, I want it to be deleted directly from the list.

Instead of using Tools -> Options -> Folders, please try Tools -> Options -> FAT.

Check Automatically remove offline volumes under Tools -> Options -> FAT.
Optionally, check Automatically include fixed volumes under Tools -> Options -> FAT.

This is expected for a folder index.

Please remove the G: drive from Tools -> Options -> Folders.
Select your G: drive under Tools -> Options -> FAT and check Include in database. (Is your G: drive not listed here?)

Please make sure Automatically remove offline volumes is checked under Tools -> Options -> FAT.
