Can the tags be transferred, when I copy the tagged files?

If I tag files and then copy those tagged files to another folder, is there a way to have the tags travel with the files, so that I don't have to re-tag everything? I don't see the tags after I copy ...

    Hey 1Biscuit, welcome to the Dropbox Community!

     

    When a file gets copied, it's actually considered as a brand new file.

     

    That's why the tags don't transfer along with it.

     

    We appreciate your feedback, however, and I will make sure that it's passed along to our team.

     

    If you have any other questions, let us know!
