Having notes available to each file uploaded to the account.
As a content creator, I frequently collect video clips and photos to demonstrate examples of my discussions. However it may be weeks, or even several months before I am ready to use those files. There is no way for me to remember the source, the circumstances, the story and/or details around those files. Rather than creating very lengthy names for these items to describe them, I'd love a way to add a note when they are saved. It would be very helpful to also have a note feature available for my subfolders for the same reason. Thanks for listening!

Hey there, EBadamas, I hope you're doing well!
Have you checked the ability to comment on content at all?
I'm asking, because this might be something that'd work for your case. Want to give it a try, and let me know if this would work, and if not what would you like to change?
Let me know more!

Hi,
I have a similar request. I have been using comments but when I want to create another folder and copy files for somebody else, the comments are not carried to the new folder. I would like to attach information to certain files that carried through when they are copied to another folder. Theese informations are more like explanations of the file rather than comments by a collaborator, and I would like them to be intact with the files. Could you consider making such a feature in the future?
