Hi,
Coming back to my suggestion of July 2018, I'm still convinced that there would be a considerable added value in Dropbox supporting (custom) meta-data for files and folders. I realize it would be quite a paradigm-shift as the use of meta-data to organize files steps away from the classic hierarchical folder-based approach, and I also realize that the use of meta-data would be limited to the online environement alone. But still : especially with shared content, meta-data-based content organization allows different users to each have their own view and logic in organizing the same content.
So I hope Dropbox will seriously consider this for the future.
Greetings,
Stijn
