    Hey vmkirin and bri_guy, I actually moved our thread to this one, since it's about the same issue.

     

    You might want to take a look at the solution on this thread, to see if that works for you as well.

Hi,

I have used Dropbox on Mac for many years.

I tag many of my files in Finder for easy search and can search within specific folders for files that contain the tag.

 

However, since the latest Dropbox update where it moved all the Files to the "Locations" sidebar in Finder, this search functionality within the Dropbox folders no longer works. If I search "This Mac" I can find the tagged folders but if I want to search a specific folder that is in Dropbox it won't work.

 

Would appreciate any tips or tricks to resolve this,  thanks!
