Objective-C CLI application to get rid of automatically appearing items in the Favorites section of Finder when using Google Drive or OneDrive on MacOS.
Navigate to Releases section in GitHub and download the latest Unix Executable
Once downloaded, put the file in any folder (I suggest /Applications with all other applications)
Application has two intended usage scienarios:
- Automatic usage via Automator
- Manual usage
Idea of this approach is to run the application without any arguments on every launch. It will remove all sidebar items with OneDrive names and all items that include - Google Drive substring anywhere in the name.
🚧 TODO: Explain how to add this to Automator to run on google drive launch.
🚧 TODO: Describe that it can be ran manually and be bound to a shortcut / automator menu in MacOS
