    Hey vmkirin and bri_guy, I actually moved our thread to this one, since it's about the same issue.

     

    You might want to take a look at the solution on this thread, to see if that works for you as well.

Hi Dave in SD, thanks for posting here! 

 

When you try to respond back to me, you should have a little camera-like icon. If you click on this, you should be given the ability to attach your screenshots.

 

Can you try this?

 

Thanks a bunch!

Megan,

Attached you should find 2 screen shots, the first is an image of the folder with the text I will be searching for highlighted, the second is the result of a search using that text string. 

 

I updated Dropbox on 2/2/23 to its latest version and I am running MacOS Ventura 13.1.

 

Any help will be appreciated as this update has greatly degraded the value of having dropbox integrated in to my mac.

 

Cheers,

 

Dave
