Does the new Metadata API / File Properties endpoint expose extended attributes?
Reading what's available, it seems like this is more for custom data, but I can't find anything about it preserving or reading existing data.
Specifically, I'm looking for a solution to read & write file tags across macOS & iOS.
- Unfortunately, the Dropbox API doesn't offer the ability to read or write xattrs/macOS tags. The metadata is only the Dropbox file metadata, and the file properties are only for custom defined Dropbox templates. I'll send this along as a feature request.

As a followup, does Dropbox at least preserve xattrs across macOS & iOS?

That's a matter of the Dropbox client syncing behavior, and not the API, so I'm afraid I can't offer insight on that.
Please check out the other parts of the forum e.g., Find answers > Syncing and uploads, or open a support ticket, for questions for the Dropbox product itself.
