Would be great to search photos on map, like Apple icloud has. Any plan to do that?
I strongly support this proposed enhancement! Including a mapping feature to display the geocoordinates of media files, sourced from embedded metadata and sidecar/xml/JSON files, would significantly improve Dropbox's handling of digital assets.
Such a feature would likely bring over Flickr users to Dropbox, as there is presently no great alternative to that platform--which is becoming increasingly expensive with minimal user support and little to no evidence of improvement in years--especially for users who have geocoordinate data associated with their media files. This interface would not need to be as interactive as Flickr's; even something very basic would be helpful for data viewing and retrieval.
If anyone from Dropbox looks into this further, I do recommend investigating Leaflet for this purpose: https://leafletjs.com/
