I'd like to add metadata tags to my Dropbox files.
I think it would be great if we could add metadata tags to files for quick shorting/searches. Similar to hashtags. Something like #upbeatmusic or #unedited/#editied

So you want to tag each individual photo within those date folders, so you can later search and filter by team.
In Dropbox, tags are applied to files and folders, and each photo/video/document is already an individual file, so you can currently tag each one with things like #leadershipteam or #productionteam on dropbox.com already.

This is close to what I would like. This is great for files but I would also like to add tags to individual documents/images/videos. Example: we have a picture folder that has more folders organized by dates. Then photos in each folder are a mixture of our teams. It would be nice to tag the individual photo with something like #leadershipteam or #productionteam
