Hi @gpalmi

 

All Dropbox users are able to search their files by name and extension.

 

In order to do so, simply visit https://www.dropbox.com, click into the Search bar in the top right corner and type your search term. 

 

When you locate your Shared folder, on the results drop down list next to the folder name, it will show /path of where the folder is located

 

When you click on that folder, on the top of it you will see its full path , for example : Dropbox > Folder A > Folder B .

 

To locate all the shared folders you are not an owner of, you can go to the Sharing Tab.

 

Hope this helps!
