Hazel rule not triggering on mounted drive Wed Apr 08, 2026 5:16 am • by roseblack
Hi, I’m using Hazel to organize files on an external SSD, but I noticed that some rules don’t trigger when the drive is mounted after startup. The folder is added to Hazel and permissions seem fine, but it only works if I manually reselect the folder in settings. Is there a way to make Hazel automatically recognize and run rules on external drives right after they are connected?

It depends on how you have it set up. What folder is being monitored here?
