Dropbox 'full-text search' is a powerful and convenient feature. However, as I add more and more files to Dropbox, the 'full-text search' feature is becoming more of a hindrance, especially when I do...
Daphne, how much more support does this idea need? This isn't the only thread on this forum where it's being discussed. Moreover, I'm not sure how many people realize that this is a function that they've LOST. Previously, we could ONLY search file names, but now with the upgrade, we can search the text within files as well. This seems to have been discussed in different forums here since at least 2018, so I'm guessing one of the reasons it doesn't have more votes is that a lot of people (like me) haven't realized it's missing yet! It's not a feature that I would use that often, but it's such a basic feature that it didn't even occur to me that Dropbox would no longer have it.
Someone on another thread said it best:
Since the dawn of disk operating systems, the ability to search by name and by partial filename with wildcards has be enshrined. I have come to rely on dropbox but the lack of this simplest of features concerns me and limits the functionality of your cloud and web services.
As people store more and more files on dropbox, this will become an even bigger issue for them. I spend several hundred dollars on Dropbox every year, and I've been largely happy with it. It concerns me that this functionality isn't available, but what concerns me a LOT more is that the moderators here seem to be acting like this is some weird, fancy feature, instead of something that has been available to me on every other file storage system I've used - including the old version of Dropbox!
