No search bar on iCloud Drive?! (web browser)

I have seen this questions multiple times, for YEARS!


Its 2021. Is there really no search bar for iCloud Drive in the web browser? Google and Dropbox have been doing this for years. I just canceled my google drive and was migrating over and noticed this. This is a deal breaker.


Is there something I am missing??

Hello Jeremy Harnden,


Thank you for posting on Apple Support Communities.


While 'search' is not currently supported in the web browser on iCloud.com 'searching' in iCloud Drive is supported within the Files app (iOS and iPadOS) and Finder (MacOS)


Take a look at these resources for more information


Use the Files app on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch


Work with folders and files in iCloud Drive


Regards.

Thanks for your reply. I know you can search those ways, but having a cloud drive that has no search features from the web is wild to me.


Say you are at a friends house or at work trying to find a specific file, no search is going to make things difficult. That’s the great thing about cloud drives, you can access your files on devices other than your standard devices, again no web search blows my mind and seems like such a standard feature and is supported by every cloud drive service I can think of.


No web search, it’s back to google drive for me.
