    Welcome aboard the forum, La2214!
     
    You should be able to search and locate files based on their file extension/file type via the Dropbox website. 
     
    For example, if you’re looking for PDF files, you can type “pdf” in the search bar, press Enter, and it should show you the relevant results. 
     
    Let me know if you need something else though.

Hey BN1701, thanks for the nudge here.

The "other" option should indeed exclude the other already existing types of files from the search.

We understand where you're coming from, though, and we really appreciate your feedback on this.

Rest assured that your comments will be passed on to our team.

Please fix this Dropbox. You can do it via python, just implement it in your UI.
