Searching for 'Image Properties' on the Dropbox site
I am trying to search my Dropbox, on a web browser, for data in the "Keywords" field in the file properties.
- Dropbox's Help center says that you can search: "Image properties (such as resolution, date, keywords, copyrights, and other EXIF and IPTC fields)."
- Note: the field that I'm specially looking to search is labeled "Tags" when you look at it on Windows Explorer and "Keywords" when you look at the "File Info" on Dropbox.
- I can see the data when I look at a file's "File Info," so I know that they are there. But when I type one of the "Keywords" that I know is in multiple files into the search bar, it returns "No Results Found."
Can someone explain to me what is happening or what I'm missing? (I am testing this because I currently use OneDrive for file backup, and it is a nightmare to search. I was hoping Dropbox would be more functional.)

Hi BullTiger08, thanks for bringing this to our attention.
Just for clarification, are the Tags you're seeing in Explorer including the metadata of the file itself, or are these tags added onto a file in Explorer?
Could you attach a screenshot any example of what you're experiencing, while hiding any personal info?
This will help me to assist further!
