extract files from multiple folders

if you have a folder, full of sub folders, full of files, it would be great if there was a way to extract all the files at once into the main folder. usually if you search * in a folder, the results will be a list of all the files in all the subfolders, but it's not working in dropbox. I have too many subfolders but don't want to extract the documents subfolder by subfolder. happy to hop on a video chat for a demo of what I mean. thank you!
