Can't use automation to auto-add tags to files in a folder
The Dropbox tags help page indicates you can use the automation feature to auto-add tags to files in a folder. However, this option is not present in the automation task list. I tried adding it as instructed to a newly created folder, and also tried adding the automation rule to an already created folder. Neither worked. I hope this feature didn't get removed because it would be really helpful to organize all of my photos.
Talking further with Dropbox staff via email, as of Sept 2023 the automated tagging feature is only available to Dropbox Professional, Standard, Advanced, and Enterprise plans.
This list is available on this page:

I thought I was on Standard or Advanced but turns out I'm on the "Plus" plan which is not supported.

I have the same problem - on a mac, using latest chrome, no plugins, not able to see the tagging automation - have tried private and public folders.
Yes, exactly the same in incognito mode - Chrome is the current version, don't have another browser to test.
Same problem for me, the automation to add tags is not present in the list. Incognito window, latest Chrome version, no extensions.
Hi Megan, thanks for the quick reply!
I have tested it using Firefox and also don't see the tag automation option.
