Need in-app search feature for text files on mobile
The ability to edit a plain text file in the Dropbox app on iPhone or iPad is a great feature. But it's missing the ability to search within the file for a piece of text. Once a text file is open, there should be a button/interface on the screen that lets you enter some text to search for. Then it searches the open file for the target text and lets you jump through the matching results.
This seems like a fairly easy feature to implement and one that should fit well into the existing interface. Dropbox: please add this enhancement to the Dropbox mobile apps!
Thanks for continuing to improve an already great product. I love, love, love my Dropbox Plus!

When we open a text file (.txt) in Dropbox App, it would be much easier if we can search within the file.
Usually Dropbox is used to store some important info files. When we open a text file, it's hard to find what we want except scrolling down and read all the info.
The search only needs to be the simple string matching, no fancy functionality needed.

Status changed:NewtoNew This feature is very useful.
It's 2019, not 1992.
I have exactly the same use case. So frustrating! It must be simple to implement!
- I would also like to see a search function in the mobile apps, so that one can search in text files - like one can do in Word files. That would be great enhancement.
