I'm trying to search for a specific file type in one of my online folders so that I can move them all to another folder.

When I select the source folder and the wildcard in the search box, the results are showing files in different folders.

How can I limit the search to only the folder I've selected?

Hey @hajami9 - thanks for using Dropbox and welcome to our Community!

 

Can you please clarify if you're navigating the folder when searching for those files or if you're doing this from your account's homepage instead?

 

Do you get the same results on another browser by the way?

 

Let me know more and we'll take it from there.
