Can I search for files based on their content instead of name on a Basic plan?
I am having issues with finding files searching with their contents (instead of names), i am on basic plan, does dropbox provide this functionality of advanced search (such as apple notes) or have some workaround to achieve this?

Hey Rasik, and welcome to our forum.
Please note that, at the moment, full-text search is only available for paid subscriptions, so on free Basic plans, it’s only possible to search for a file based on its name.
I can pass this as feedback though to our team, in case they consider changing this in the future.
Ping me, if you need something else.
