Community ManagerWhat’s new: Scanner App
There’s nothing worse than forgetting an idea, or losing an important piece of paper. The one thing we never lose, and usually don’t forget is our phone - so now with the Dropbox Scanner App, you can...
That means that we have to know what we're going to search for BEFORE we search, which is fine for very simple searches. Imagine finding all the instances of your Aunt Ruth in your system, or all the times you visited Disney WITHOUT recalling the years you went. Or how about some ingredient of a recipe you snapped a picture of?
When we tag images, we can assign categories after we file them away, and, in fact, I don't actually know where many of my images are located when the tagging system works well (like for gmail or MacOSX searching). This is a GOOD thing in that it's just too much info to remember and it's not coordinated with the info I might have recalled (the 'tag').
Tags also allow me to cluster similar files without constructing a filing system via folders.
Agreed
My info is often in many categories. Tags allows me to search in many areas as I can create connections & add context to an item regardless where it is actually located. I do not have to decide put it here or there since w/o tags that is the hand you are dealt. Tags also allow me to add various level of metadata if I need use of such workflows
I was with Evernote for years & cannot tell you how simplistic & fluid my workflow was with tags. When I realized there were no such things in DB I was.....surprised to say the least
