Hi @infinniumllp

We'll be happy to help with any questions you may have regarding the Dropbox API, but we'll need a bit more detail to give you the right guidance.

Are you:

Trying to search for Dropbox users within an existing third-party app?
Or building your own integration and looking to use the Dropbox API directly?

If you're using an existing third-party application, you'll need to contact that app's support team, as they control how user search is implemented in their system.

If you're building your own integration, please clarify:

Are you trying to search for members within a Dropbox team (Business account)?
Or are you trying to search for general Dropbox users?
What endpoint or SDK (if any) are you currently using?

Once we understand your goal and setup, we can provide more specific guidance.

At this time, we don't have a dedicated API endpoint that supports searching for team members directly. However, you can use the /2/team/members/list_v2/[continue] endpoint to retrieve the full list of team members, and then implement your own search or filtering logic on your end based on the returned data.

While direct member search functionality isn't currently available in the Dropbox API, we're happy to submit this as a feature request to our team for consideration. We can't promise if or when that might be implemented though.

Regarding third-party apps: there are many integrations built on top of Dropbox, and we don't maintain a comprehensive list of their specific features. Because of this, we're unable to recommend a particular third-party app that provides team member search functionality. You may want to explore the Dropbox App Center or external marketplaces to see if an existing integration meets your needs.
