Dropbox Search

Searches recursively for files and folders in your Dropbox.

Important: Dropbox limits the number of search results and only allows to retrieve a maximum of 10,000 files and folders. Recent changes may not immediately be reflected in search results due to a short delay in indexing.

Options

Remote Search Path (*): The path to the folder in your Dropbox the search should be scoped. If you leave this empty, the entire Dropbox will be searched. If you specify a path to a sub folder, it must begin with a / and must not end with a /. Example for a valid path: /path/to/your directory
Query: The query string used to search for files and folders in your Dropbox. This node will return full and partial matches against file and folder names. The search is case-insensitive.
Return All Properties: Return all properties which are provided from Dropbox. This contains e.g. technical information, which are typically only interesting for advanced users.
