Share file to dropbox

When I share file using cellphone to Dropbox from other app, the search bar is gone and I have to open each file to find the file I need. This is really wasting time.

Hi there CharlesZhou - sorry to hear you're having issues with this.

 

Can you walk me through the exact steps you take to do this? 

 

Also, could you please clarify your device's OS version and the version of the Dropbox mobile app installed there as well?

 

If you could also send us a screenshot of what's troubling you, I'd appreciate it.

 

Thanks!

    I'm using Apple OS newest version. Years ago, dropbox alwas has a search box to search files when I want to save something. But since couple years ago after the update, I have to open so many files before I can find the destination to save the file.

    I hope you can get the search bar feature back.
