You can quickly find files and folders in Tresorit using the search bar.
Searching relies on indexing, where item properties and content are scanned and stored to make results available quickly. Because files stored in Tresorit are end-to-end encrypted and protected by a zero-knowledge policy, Tresorit cannot access file contents and therefore cannot index them. As a result, searching is limited to file and folder names and file extensions (e.g. .jpg, .pdf, .docx).
To search inside files, sync them to your computer, and use your operating system's file search.
