Searching Not Working on iPadOS Files app

Just posting to add my incredulity to this thread. 

Over two years has passed since my inital post on this thread and, still, there is no fix to an issue which appears fundamental to many users including myself. To add insult to injury, Dropbox will not even acknowledge that there is a problem. 

Dropbox, I've currently halted my subscription, pending a resolution to this problem. It's annoyed me too many times to warrant giving you more money. Here's how to bring me back on board as a customer:

1. Acknowledge the issue.

2. Do not tell me to open a ticket, or try rebooting or reinstalling. I've done all that, many times.

3. Provide your paying customers with information on what is causing the issue, and how and when it will be fixed.

Thanks!

Hey everyone, thanks for your patience here. 

I checked with our engineers and it seems that what you're experiencing isn't directly related to our app. It has to do with the Files app and how Apple integrates and works with the files you have in your Dropbox app. 

Your comments on this have been quite helpful, and I will do everything I can to ensure that your voice is heard. I'll forward your feedback to the appropriate areas so we can continue to improve.

Just reviewed this thread, seems like this has now been a problem for at least 3 years. Rather than a wait another 3+ years I have upped my Apple storage plan, and as soon as I have some down time I am going to start transferring out of Dropbox. It’s a big job, I’ve been with Dropbox for years, but this clearly isn’t moving towards resolution…

so..

should you guys work with apple to resolve it then... perhaps?

Hey KatRat!

Like Megan mentioned above, it looks like this issue is more related to the Files app on your device and not Dropbox, as our engineers suggested, as well.

However, your comments on this have already been sent over to them, so that they can take them into account.

I have the same problem. For me is a nightmare. If I use a spliview, I can search in the dropbox app. But when a try to drag and drop a folder, dropbox doesn't recognize it as a folder. If I do it en apple files app, I have to manually search for the folder, create a subfolder and manually pass the files.

If you want to export a file to the dropbox app, you don have a search box in order to put it in the right folder.

Is imposible to work with dropbox in an iPad. I've been paid the dropbox profesional subscription for more than 5 years..... Impossible to migrate to Icloud.

I hate dropbox.
