Thanks for clarifying! The Dropbox API doesn't offer the ability to search/list files with names containing a certain prefix in particular, but you could use the /2/files/list_folder[/continue] and/or /2/files/search_v2 endpoints to list or search for files, and filter the results client-side as desired.
