Dropbox not searchable in MacOS Ventura 13.1
Since the recent Dropbox update, I can no longer search for files in Dropbox on my Mac. I have been using Dropbox for over 10 years and have never had this problem before. It's making life extremel...
Dropbox we need a fix or at least some communication!
If I can’t search my files I can’t continue with Dropbox.
I tried the option above of reindexing my whole hard drive on my Mac. No luck. 😞

Did you try this solution? If this doesn't work, I don't know what to do.
This solution came from @davidarden. It worked for me. I can now search my Dropbox folders when I couldn't before (on MacOS 13.1)

Just giving credit where credit is due.
In case that goes away, instructions are also listed below.
- Open System Preferences and go to Spotlight's Privacy tab.
- Add the entire hard disk INTO the Privacy list.
- Maybe wait 30s (I closed the window then re-opened it).
- Remove the hard disk FROM the Privacy list.
Spotlight will re-index. After finish re-indexing, the search in folder works for me.
(To see if Spotlight is indexing, use Command+Space to invoke Spotlight, and type in something. Wait a second. You should see a progress bar to show indexing progress)
