Problem searching for files in dropbox iOS ipad

Since the last update of the app, searching for files (by name) never shows any result. Dropbox-app version 224.5 (27 feb 2021) on iPad with latest iOS (14.4). In previous versions it worked fine...

Hello Daphne,

I tried all that. I even deleted the app and installed it again. Still the same problem.

On my iPhone (latest iOS  and app-version) i have the same problem,

I noticed that after reinstalling the app on my iPad, the first search did show the right results. A second search resulted in the same problem.  Clearing the cache made no difference.

I did the same on my iPhone, buts then the first search did not give any result.

Any clue?
