    /v3/projects/{project_id}/drive/search

    Performs a full-text search across file names in the project drive. Supports filtering by userIds, date range (filterFromDate/filterToDate), filterTags, and an allowImagesOnly flag. Results are paginated. For private or mixed-visibility projects, file URLs include a time-limited SAS token by default. Requires ViewDrive permission.

    Security
    OAuth

    All V3 endpoints require a Bearer token. Generate tokens in the Document360 portal under Settings > API Tokens. Tokens are project-scoped, require the customerApi scope, and do not expire by default. Tokens can be revoked at any time from the portal. Include the token in every request: Authorization: Bearer <your-token>. Alternatively, use the Authorize button below to sign in via OAuth2 Authorization Code flow with PKCE.
