Hi BeckyO, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

In order to understand exactly what you're seeing, could you attach a screenshot showing this behavior on your device?

Could you also let me know what version of Windows you're running?

This will help me to assist further!

    Jay,  I have windows 10.   This Index shows only and on ALL .pdf's in the first two Dropbox folders, above the .dropbox.cache (you can see to the left) Normally I would see the actual .pdf and I still do on all the files after the cache folder.
