Questions about this workflow
Can the search check whether a file is overdue?
Only if the needed date or status is available in the Dropbox data or supplied in your instruction. The listed search action finds files by name, content, path, or filters.
Does this workflow edit or move the files?
No. It searches Dropbox and reports results; it does not change the files.
