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.
