Shame you don’t have a working app for the M2 max and continue to post bs advice that doesn’t work

There is NO “within folder” spotlight search functionality with the latest dropbox on an M2 max. Spotlight indexes everything but can not search within - it can only find files by search entire HD - so you lose ALL folder/project specific search capabilities

None of the bs advice dropbox give, so far, works - it just wastes days of your time re-indexing.
