folder search does not work

The transfer does not see files in the search, but they are there. The search always worked, stopped working in the evening.

Hi Tavolga, hope you’re doing well. 

 

Can you please clarify what you mean when saying that the transfer doesn’t see files in the search? 

 

Please feel free to send me a screenshot or two of what you're seeing, as well; it'd really help.

 

Give me a nudge, when you're ready.

    Thanks for these screenshots, Tavolga!

     

    Do you experience the same issue if you search for other files/folders on the Dropbox website? 

     

    Also, please make sure to test this via a different browser as well, as it may help.
