Search Results Limit on iOS
Dear Dropbox,
I've been a paying subscriber for over a decade, now. Great product!
I have discovered one curious aspect of your iOS product that has proven frustrating in practice.
When searching for a file, I'm limited to only 100 results.
Most of the time this is fine, but there are occasions when I'm searching for a file that is for work and there are far more than 100 results.
As a consequence of this limited display of results, I am unable to find the file and share it with a colleague. Given that the entire point of Dropbox is to share files, this is highly frustrating.
There is no such limit on the desktop integration, of course, so it's quite a thorn to be so restricted on iOS.
Perhaps the app could include a search results option that allows the user to display more than 100 results? Default could still be 100, that's fine, but at least allow the user to select more when needed. Maybe something like 100, 1000, and 2500 or some such?
At the risk of sounding foolish, it seems like this would be a fairly simple change, would not break the app, and would allow users the ability to continue using Dropbox in their workflows as needed.
Thanks again for an otherwise great service. Keep up the good work.

Hi there luvbox - thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts on this with us.
We've passed your comments on to the team and you can let us know if you have anything else to add.
For now, you'll need to rely on the filters and more specific searching or use the desktop app or the website to do this.
I hope this helps a tad.
