    Welcome aboard the forum, La2214!
     
    You should be able to search and locate files based on their file extension/file type via the Dropbox website. 
     
    For example, if you’re looking for PDF files, you can type “pdf” in the search bar, press Enter, and it should show you the relevant results. 
     
    Let me know if you need something else though.
