Exclude folders when searching for content in my mobile app.

Is it possible to exclude certain folders from the search function? I have a lot of files in my school folder when I was in college but I don’t want this folder to be searched when I search for files. I use dropbox on my iPhone by the way.

 

Thanks

    Hi Don1990, thanks for posting here!

     

    You can filter your search results when searching through the website, or desktop app. 

     

    However it's not currently possible when you're using our mobile app. You can see more about this here.

     

    I hope this clarifies!
