Tags and Properties

Hello,

I started a project that I need some features that dropbox provide, but I cannot implent using the sdk or the api.
The features are:

  1. List all distinct tags used
  2. Search files by this tags
  3. List all custom metada (properties) values used
  4. Search files by this values

Anyone can tell me if any of this is possible?

Thanks in advice

1. No, the Dropbox API does not offer the ability to list all of the tags used in the connected account, but I'll pass this along as a feature request. I can't promise if or when that might be implemented though.

2. Yes, this should be possible using /2/files/search_v2. I see you reported an issue with this in this other thread though, so I'll follow up with you there about that.

3. Yes, you can list file property templates using /2/file_properties/templates/list_for_user.

4. Yes, you can search based on file property values using /2/file_properties/properties/search[/continue].
