Can I find a file on dropbox, if I only know the file name not the path ?
Was hoping to be able to scan Dropbox using an API for files being uploaded with a specific (known file name), does any know if this can be done ?

You can either use the /search endpoint to search for the filename occasionally:
https://www.dropbox.com/developers/core/docs#search
Or use the /delta endpoint to keep a local representation of the Dropbox account state and search that metadata for where the last path component of the path is the filename you're looking for:
