change file properties in dropbox client ?

Is it possible to update and edit file metadata from the dropbox UI when adding file properties through the API / or a template ?

 

A customer wants to use dropbox to manage files / products in his shop, this would also require to manage some metadata which we would set on images, is this possible in the dropbox client like adding a comment to a file once a template gets added for a file ?

    No, unfortunately Dropbox doesn't offer the ability to set/get the API file properties/templates via the official Dropbox user interfaces, such as the desktop client or web site, but I'll pass this along as a feature request. I can't promise if or when that might be implemented though.
