Tags not showing up?

One of the people who has access to our shared folder added tags to images within a folder a few days ago. I am ready to finish up a project based on those tags, but I cannot find where the tags are ...

    Hi, I added tags in dropbox inside a photo folder, then I copied the photos to a share folder where I want to share with another group. The copied photos in that new folder are no longer showing tags. What happen to the tags? Shouldn't the tags I added show on global level? By the way, the original photos with tags I created I can see the tags are there. Any thoughts?

      Hey Chris1223, welcome to our Community! 

       

      I tested it on my end too. If you copy the content to a different folder, then the new copy doesn't inherit the tags of the initial file. 

       

      It only does if you move the folder.

       

      I hope this helps!

        Hi Meagan, thanks for checking, the main purpose of using dropbox is to create a library of photos, we want to add keyword and tags so we can do search and share by copying photo to a new folder. It doesn't make sense to re-tag after initial tagging.

        Any chance Dropbox will update this feature to inherit the tags of the initial file soon? I think this will add great benefit for many users like us.
