Metadata field 'description' for files/folders

Hello,

 

I've like to ask if is possible to add custom (string) description to file/folder? Or is there any way to use other metadata field which will allow me to store that data? I used to this field in google drive api and now I need to use it via dropbox api. 

 

Thanks,

-Kostex

    The Dropbox API doesn't offer this unfortunately, but I'll be sure to pass this along as feedback.

    (The closest thing is the file templates/properties functionality, currently in preview, but that's only available for Dropbox Business teams/apps.)
