    Hi Bryn K., thanks for contacting us!

     

    Could you try the following on the Dropbox site?

     

    - Search for a file or file type

    - Change the layout to Large list by clicking the grid on the right

    - Underneath the files you'll see the full path, which is also clickable to go direct to the folder.

     

    Does this method work for you to locate the full file path?

     

    Keep me posted!
