Re: Searching for files in Finder in the Dropbox folder isn't working on Mac OS

I've experienced the same problem on my iMac using Ventura (MacOS 13.6.3) and on my MacBook Pro using (MacOS 14.7.5). Even when I have my Dropbox folder selected, it doesn't find it. Is it something in the Dropbox settings or the MacOS settings? When I search Dropbox online its clearly there. I hate to have to do a separate search when I have the desktop app in my Finder. Did the steps above and nothing. Any advice?
