How does one search files within a shared folder?
Hi, I am trying to upload a big folder of pictures to share. Doesn't seem to be an option for people to do a search. For example if I only wanted to see pictures with a specific name, how could they do a search to see those. Thanks for your help in advance!

gosh i really wish theyd change this seems so simple and would be a game changer and leg up vs google drive which can't do it either!
I have this same question for the latter (allowing someone you've shared the folder with via a shared link to be able to search within the folder contents). Can you help?

Hi jasongitar, and thanks for your post.
To clarify, do you wish to search specific images based on their filename, or for the people you share them with to be able to search them instead? If the latter, how are you sharing this folder with them? Via email or via shared link?
Also, what’s the Dropbox platform you (or they) are using?
Let me know.
