    Hey Edward H and echomack, if you select the file or folder you want from the "all files" page, then click on the "..." (ellipsis) button on the right and then click on "File/Folder info", are you able to access your tags and add new ones?

    By the way, I would also like to inquire if there is a feature to add file tags on the Dropbox mobile app?

      Hey Edward H -sorry to jump in, but I just wanted to mention that Dropbox tags are only available through Dropbox.com at this time, not through the mobile app. 

       

      I hope this clears things up!
