Acrobat DC Advanced search of Folders-Dropbox or other cloud folders

I use Acrobat DC and have successfully used advance search to go through folder in my directory. I can navigate to my E drive and it shows the Dropbox folder but will not search it. I also cannot select sub folders as they do not appear.

For backup purposes I store most of my files on Dropbox as I travel extensively and this gives me good access. However I also need to be able to search the folders for information which does not work if I cant get to the folder.

I did link the Dropbox account to Acrobat DC but that did not seem to help.

Any suggestions?

No as I already pay for Dropbox and Onedrive. I am looking at everything on my system right now.

I did manage to get to the Dropbox folder but the search brings no results. Part of my issue is the scan mode. It is doing everything as an image and I have to figure out how to get the OCR function to work from my scanner. I think that is my major issue now.

Thanks,

Pat
