    Can files in Dropbox be indexed (for Search)?


    I could swear that I've done this (i.e. indexed files in my Dropbox) but I just did a search and got zero results which I know is wrong. And when I went to the dialog to add locations to be indexed there doesn't seem to be a way to add anything other than an ENTIRE harddrive.

    Is there any way to index files in Dropbox?

    Thanks, Bob
