Hi Greg,

 

I still observe the same behaviour using the files_search_v2:

 

Note: Here the result is 3 or 4 because it finds some files that are in a "Backup" folder, while we specified the folder "RESEARCH" in the first example with `files_search`.

I believe I don't need to use the `files_search_continue_v2` as I have few search results.

 

Some additional data:

 

dropbox Version: 11.22.0

Windows 10 Pro Version: 10.0.18362.0

Python version: 3.7.7
