Search not working on my Mac
Hey all, I cannot get my search to work. I'm not using smart sync. I can see the file I need, and it will not find it in a search. Help.
I have an apple M1 and Monterey.

Thanks for the info. The ability to search the documents themselves for keywords is available on paid plans.
As you mentioned you're on a Basic plan, this wouldn't be available on your current plan.

Hey there kimsel, sorry to hear you're having issues with this.
Can you please let us know the Dropbox desktop app's exact version and status as shown in your menu bar at the moment?
Also, are you having with searching your files in Dropbox via a web browser too?
Keep us posted!

Hi Walter. I'm using the web version. When I download the app to my desktop, it automatically goes to my work upgraded dropbox account. The issue is with the free web version.
