Metadata field 'description' for files/folders

[Kostex]

Hello,

I've like to ask if is possible to add custom (string) description to file/folder? Or is there any way to use other metadata field which will allow me to store that data? I used to this field in google drive api and now I need to use it via dropbox api. 

Thanks,

The Dropbox API doesn't offer this unfortunately, but I'll be sure to pass this along as feedback.

(The closest thing is the file templates/properties functionality, currently in preview, but that's only available for Dropbox Business teams/apps.)

The Dropbox API now offers the ability to use file properties from full Dropbox (non-Business) API apps:

If you're using an official SDK, there will also be corresponding methods for these endpoints.
