Searching for text in images - when?

Hi, I've been waiting for something like that since I saw it for the first time on iOS a few years ago. Today I discovered that it becomes more popular and for example Google Drive offers that. I'm paying for Dropbox Pro and I'm using it since the beginning but I may switch to Google Drive and transfer my 1.5TB data there only for that 1 function as it's a deal breaker for me. 

When will such option be available in Dropbox and why it's not available yet?

    Dropbox typically doesn't provide that kind of information. We'll know about such an option only when they're ready to announce it and start testing.

     

    If you haven't already, I'd suggest looking for a post related to this feature in the Share an idea section, or starting a new one if you can't find an existing one.
