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.

        Hey Sesame1, sorry to jump in here, but have you tried removing the # sign from your folder names as Rich suggested?

         

        I can see at least 6 folders with that symbol in their names in your screenshot.
