Dropbox StaffHi ptetta, happy February 1st!
Are you referring to Spotlight? Which version of the Dropbox app you have installed to the device?
Any screenshots you want to share, that demonstrate what you mentioned, and what you see when you try to search for a file, are welcome.
Let me know more, and we'll take it from there!
I just tried dragging and dropping my screenshot files. Hopefully, they are readable on your end.
Actually I'm on Ventura 13.2 with an M1 iMac, and have updated to have Dropbox under Library/CloudStorage with all files and folders available offline.
Finder search cannot find dropbox files when using Dropbox as the search start. If I search "This Mac" they are all found. Spotlight search finds them all as well. I disconnected my computer from Dropbox, erased the folder and other associated files in Library, and then reconnected and downloaded everything. This did not help.

Hi everyone, are you experiencing the same behavior as listed in this article when searching on the new Mac OS version of the Dropbox desktop application?
Jay Your article said: "Searching through Finder will only find online-only files or folders that have been previously accessed on your device running Dropbox for macOS."
Not for me: Searching through finder will find a file I have previously opened in "This Mac", but NOT in Dropbox folder searchs.
Hi,
I've the same issue, drop box files are not accessible via spotlight search like they where before the update.
How can i roll-back the update.
I'm using v166.4.2920

Thank you for your help dropbox community
