Hope this helps!
If you use the Dropbox desktop utlity, tagging works flawlessly. I have several thousand images in my Dropbox account. By looking at them through the desktop app I can add tags and search via the tags. By using the website you are severely limited as to photo management. Hope this helps.
When you TAG via your desktop app will you lose that tagging if you change to another computer and reinstall the app on the new computer or will the tagging follow?

You are actually using the tagging function in Windows. You just use the Dropbox deskto utility to access your Dropbox files. Whatever tags you add get written to the photos so the tags will remain no matter which computer or operaing system you use or change to.
