Enable searching EXIF metadata on website and mobile apps
Hi Dropbox and Carousel team,

Dropbox is not currently geared to support activities using many pictures.
Functions to store, organize and share many files are there but if those files are photos some key features are missing:
Capability to search not only on file and directory names but as well on metadata content (exif, iptc and xmp data), this should include at least title or caption, description, date picture taken (not the date the file was created or modified), and tags. This is available in Windows explorer and Google Drive.
Capability to view the content of some or all of the metadata fields when required. Capability to edit them would be a plus but less required in my opinion, dedicated applications exist for that. This is available in Windows explorer and in Google Photos when displaying Google Drive Pictures.
Capability to view along with the picture displayed some key metadata information like the date the picture was taken and title.
I have seen that such features have been asked for by users in the past and that the answer has been that the request will be submitted to the development teams. Nothing seemed to happen after that.
So I am wondering if Dropbox can be used soon in a picture oriented activity or if this is not and will not be in the near future in the scope of Dropbox and as a consequence it is wiser to plan using another cloud service for this type of activity.
Any plan to improve that?
