Last comment, while I understand tags can help, ideally properties are key/value pairs and tags don't help with convey that information

Daniel F The file properties functionality on the Dropbox API is meant as a way for third party apps to set and get custom information for use by the third party app itself, e.g., to show in its own UI. Dropbox doesn't expose this information in the official Dropbox UI, but I'll pass this along as a feature request. I can't promise if or when that might be implemented though.
