    Hi pukoh, I hope you're doing well!

     

    Just to clarify, do you wish to be able to filter out, and search purely on file names, without having Dropbox also searching for the contents of files, right? 

     

    If I didn't get that one right, feel free to let me know, and correct me. 

     

    Keep me posted!
