Thanks for posting on our Community, nitsugua!

 

If you’re referring to the tags that appear on the Dropbox website, these aren’t synced to the desktop app indeed. 

 

However, you may be able to code an app this way to retrieve the tags in your app and assign them to files on your machine.

 

Since this isn’t our area of expertise though, I’ve moved your post to the API section of the forum, in case another user can share something more on this.

 

Hope this helps a bit.
