Default search settings for mobile app.

Currently when searching files on the Dropbox app (iPhone), I must also select a file type. If I don’t, my search returns unfiltered results of every type of file I have stored in my Dropbox account....

Is it possible to send us screenshots instead of a video, dezormo?

Here are a few screenshots I just took of the same search. I had to scroll down 35 items down the results to find the first result that was relevant to the search by filename. All the others were pictures of food, mostly salads, that I have in my files that have absolutely nothing in the filename to do with "Caesar" or even "salad".
