    Hi everyone, the ability to tag files is now available on the Dropbox site.

     

    This article provides the steps on how to add, remove and search for tags on your account.

     

    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.
