Tags not showing up?
One of the people who has access to our shared folder added tags to images within a folder a few days ago. I am ready to finish up a project based on those tags, but I cannot find where the tags are ...

Hey Chris1223, welcome to our Community!
I tested it on my end too. If you copy the content to a different folder, then the new copy doesn't inherit the tags of the initial file.
It only does if you move the folder.
I hope this helps!

Hi Meagan, thanks for checking, the main purpose of using dropbox is to create a library of photos, we want to add keyword and tags so we can do search and share by copying photo to a new folder. It doesn't make sense to re-tag after initial tagging.
Any chance Dropbox will update this feature to inherit the tags of the initial file soon? I think this will add great benefit for many users like us.
