    Hey Wisdom Moon, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

     

    I've just tested this on my devices and everything seems to work okay on my end.

     

    Have you tried to clear the app's cache from the settings, to see if that helps?

     

    Also, can you describe the behavior a bit more? Meaning, are you searching for file names and are getting a "no results" message?

     

    Or is the page (both on the mobile app and online) just blank?

     

    Keep me posted and we'll go from there.

Dear all,

I was searching for a solution trough this blog and only this topic seems the nearest solution what I’m searching. The difference is the search option in the iOS application while I want to save a file, I must go every time trough all the folders. It would be helpful to have a search function just to speed up sometimes the saving trough the app.
Thanks in advance and my apologies if I could not find an exact topic.
