Using the dropbox.com website to search through my account, I'm missing a feature:

I would love to have the search function to also look into JPEG metadata like:

  • Comments ("XP Comment" in EXIF)
  • Tags ("XP Keywords" in EXIF)
  • Title ("XP Title" in EXIF)
  • Subject ("XP Subject" in EXIF)
  • (maybe some others, too).

This would help me find images, since I'm using the metadata to store image information.

The Windows 10 built-in search does at least look into JPEG tags ("XP Keywords" in EXIF). Would be great if Dropbox does the same and better.
