Tagging functionality using File Property API

Hi, I am implementing tagging functionality using File Properties API with the requirement that user should be able to add unlimited numer of tags to any file.

According to the documentation, is possible to add only limited number of File Properties, defined by PropertyFieldTemplate (up to 32 properties in a single template),  number of created templates is also limited to 16.  Which means that tagging implementation using this API would allow to have only limited number of tags.

Can you please confirm that my undestanding is correct or may be point me to the API that allows implementation of unlimited tags.

  • Your understanding is correct; the Dropbox API does have those limits, so it's not possible to add an unlimited number of tags. Apologies I don't have better news for you!
