Tagging/Photo Organization
Hi there,
I've read in many posts that unfortuantely Dropbox does not have tagging capabilities. Does anyone have any suggestions for the next best thing? How best to organize and locate photos whe...
Hi everyone, the ability to tag files is now available on the Dropbox site.
This article provides the steps on how to add, remove and search for tags on your account.
Hope this helps!
Not to sound dumb.. but how do you open the DP desktop app? When I go to programs, I am brought to Windows Explorer.
I believe Scott was talking about the DB sync utility, so it is just the synced folder on your computer. Both Windows and Mac have file tagging functionality built into Explorer/Finder, so you can use that with the native search capabilities to tag and find photos. But there is no DB "photo viewer" desktop app.
Here's a link explaining tagging in Windows 7: http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/windows-and-office/tag-your-files-for-easier-searches-in-windows-7/
If using Windows, you can add the Dropbox photos folder to the Pictures Library, and use the built-in Windows date and tag browsing functions: http://techinch.com/blog/integrate-dropbox-with-windows-7-libraries
- I'm sorry for the confusion. mmmb is correct, I was referring to the Dropbox Sync Utility. It works great with tagging and searching photos. Unfortunately those tags aren't searchable from the website or mobile applications.
- I don't really understand how hard it can be to implement a tag feature. I'm really starting to look for other sites to storage my photos at. Just implemented a tag feature and make the user able to search for it in the all ready existing search field
The Dropbox Blog is using this feature, why can't we have it?Try cloudfindhq.com - really good for smart tagging and retrieval in dropbox
