There is an API endpoint that allows us to add property groups to files ad folders. But I'm not able to find any option on the dropbox web app to do the same.

Hi @dhruvin,
Where do you know that UI doesn't use those features? 🧐 I'm pretty sure it does. Such properties are internal for any application and usually keep application specific data that users don't usually need direct access to. Users use such properties represented as specific files features (i.e. indirectly).

As I said, you can add different files properties to your application; there is no way to change other applications files properties or access them! Anyway, you're setting/changing such properties all the time while you're working with the Dropbox WebApp; just it's not explicitly. It's related to the Dropbox' internal application design (either web or standalone). You can take a look a bit above the access point you linked to in your previous post:
Templates are owned either by a user/app pair or team/app pair. Templates and their associated properties can't be accessed by any app other than the app that created them, and even then, only when the app is linked with the owner of the template (either a user or team).
That's it. 😉
In spite, would be good idea a small change/exception, so other applications to be able access/see (if not modify) Dropbox' applications specific properties, so can have "full/better picture" of the stored data. Such a way would be the only way an application to see some file metadata inaccessible now - metadata that Dropbox' standalone application does read/set/access from/to files when does access/sync them (for instance).
