OK - Well, any suggestions on who to use? I use it for photos but I also use it for pretty much everything, not just pictures and videos.

Thank you, and yes I am aware of how to share to multiple people. The MAJOR dislike abouit Dropbox is the tagging / indexing feature or the lack thereof. If you take one photo of five people (John, Mike, Sam, Alex and Jeff) then another photo of two people (John and Mike) then a third photo of just Alex the only way to find ALL photos that each person is in is to set up FIVE seperate folders and copy the SAME photo into each of the FIVE folders. The right way to organize is to put every single photo ever taken into ONE folder and then "TAG" or "INDEX" each photo with the Identifier of the person in it or the description of the photo so that I can go to the search feature and type in JOHN and all the photos that JOHN is TAGGED in will appear.

This is absolutely crazy that a company the size of DropBox can't figure out how to tag documents. It would SAVE them a crap load of space becuase right now you have to save the same photo to multiple folders which is so cumbersum.
If I have 6 people in a photo it would be so much easier to just tag it with the 6 names rather than copy the same photo in to 6 different locations. It would also make finding people so much easier within the thousands of photos taken. Just type the make and search or just click on one of the tags you already set up and all the photos they are in will appear.
If DropBox can figure this out then I have to move to another system.
Does anyone know of a different cloud storage solution that allows tagging? Does Google Drive allow it?

When you TAG via your desktop app will you lose that tagging if you change to another computer and reinstall the app on the new computer or will the tagging follow?
