Search photos by Map location
Would be great to search photos on map, like Apple icloud has. Any plan to do that?

Make TAGS editable or deletable from master list, please
Through weeks of tagging thousands of my portrait photos, I've changed my tags to better flow and group by category, but the old tag names are still popping up as options. I would like those gone as options. It would be great to see a master list of tags, and from therebe able to manage (edit, delete) tags from a master list, not just from individual files. Thanks for considering!

Please index ID3 tags in music files and allow them to be searched
Dropbox should index ID3 tags and show matching music files in search results. At least title, artist, year, label, album and comment should be indexed.

Search feature upgrades - using AI to interact with documents
DB's search features could use improvement. I'm wondering if DB could leverage AI to create a more interactive search experience, e.g. where a bot looks through documents to find relevant materials, and returns search results in a chat format.

Checkbox option to search file names only, not content
Searching contents is REALLY handy sometimes! But not being able to turn it off is problematic. For a very simple example, if I have 4 files with the word "book" in the file name, I will search for that word. That used to work fine. However now, I can get those four files... along with 50-60 other files that have IMAGES of books in the file contents. Much less helpful. Can I request that "Search contents" (or something like) be made a CHECKBOX so that if we are only looking for a known file name, we don't get so many results that the search ceases to be useful? I hope this is doable! Thanks, and keep up the great work!

Option to "search for the image content" for Dropbox app only when I request it.
Searching contents is REALLY handy sometimes! But not being able to turn it off is problematic. For a very simple example, if I have 4 files with the word "lion" in the file name, I will search for that word. That used to work fine. However now, I will get those four files... along with 20-30 other files that have IMAGES of lions in the file contents. Can I request that "Search contents" (or something like) be made a CHECKBOX so that if we are only looking for a known file name, we don't get so many results that the search ceases to be useful? I hope this is doable! Thanks, and keep up the great work!

Automatically lock files when opening from Desktop app
Re-postingbarrondunn'sprevious idea after it was locked. It makes sense for a multiple user system to have the option to automatically lock a file when they open it, and it automatically unlocks once they save and close. The locking feature as is is fine, but people will never remember to unlock the file when they're done, especially if you're in and out of many files throughout the day. A lesser but viable alternative would be to have the Dropbox badge for all file types, not just Office.

Version history activity details/description/sentence truncated
Currently under the file version history, the activity details/description/sentence is truncated and does not show the full sentence. It displays only partial of the activity sentence. For example, the activity will show 'John Doe renamed the file from ABC...'. There is no option to expand the '...' at the back of the truncated sentence to see the full sentence.

Search Function in Replay
I'm quite happy with what Replay has to offer so far but there is one function missing that I feel is super important especially if we become a long time user - A search function. Currently I guess the only way to search all videos quickly would be to upload files to Dropbox first before importing to Replay to use the search function there but it's an extra step in our workflow that we don't want to have to do.Adding this function may see us fully migrate from Vimeo to Dropbox.

Search folders by comments made on files
It would be extremely helpful to be able to search folders by file comments. I have tons of files that each have several pieces of important information, but it is too much information to include in a file name. It would be nice to have the ability to add file attributes in comments and then search those comments for specific information.
