I am having issues with finding files searching with their contents (instead of names), i am on basic plan, does dropbox provide this functionality of advanced search (such as apple notes) or have some workaround to achieve this?

Hey @Rasik, and welcome to our forum. 

 

Please note that, at the moment, full-text search is only available for paid subscriptions, so on free Basic plans, it’s only possible to search for a file based on its name. 

 

I can pass this as feedback though to our team, in case they consider changing this in the future.

 

Ping me, if you need something else.
