Cannot Find Option to Add Tags

Hey all, 

 

Just recently saw that Dropbox added tags to files, and tried to follow the help article here: How to tag files | Dropbox Help

 

The thing is, I don't see the tag options at all. When I check a folder/file, the details panel just shows basic info. I don't even see the tags column displayed in the update post here plank-1_tags.webp (2880×2076) (dropbox.com)

 

What am I missing? I'm on a basic plan just testing things out; do tags require a higher tiered plan? I haven't read anything about it.

 

Thanks

    Hi everyone! Reut here from the Dropbox product team. It’s my pleasure to announce that tags are now available to all Dropbox users! To get started, on dropbox.com, just select one or more files and type a tag name in the righthand panel.
     
    As we continue working on tags, the product team and I would love to hear your feedback. Think tags are amazing, and just what you need? Feel that something’s still missing? Let us know here.

    Hi jpwdev, happy Tuesday! 

    At the moment, this is a feature found on Business plans only. 

    This would justify why you can't see it on your end. 

    I hope this clarifies.

        It's available for Business teams. Professional is still considered an individual plan; not a team plan.

      Hello,

      I would like to be able to add a tag when I have the file open (in preview mode of the png. file) and not when I only see the file in the right hand panel. Is that possible ?

       

      Thank you

      Hamza
