    Hi everyone! Reut here from the Dropbox product team. It’s my pleasure to announce that tags are now available to all Dropbox users! To get started, on dropbox.com, just select one or more files and type a tag name in the righthand panel.
     
    As we continue working on tags, the product team and I would love to hear your feedback. Think tags are amazing, and just what you need? Feel that something’s still missing? Let us know here.

This is a feature in Box: https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/360044195913-Using-Tags. And it's also a feature within Dropbox's own support forum. This is a no-brainer to add to Dropbox. We need to be able to both organize files into folders but also be able to tag files so they can be searched on multiple dimensions. Folders are too limiting because a file only exists in one folder, whereas a file may have multiple tags to search it by

    I am absolutely with you on this. It's such a missed opportunity to not have tags in Dropbox. Any idea if this is being considered? Thanks.
