Can I tag people in photos and have Dropbox recognize them for search purposes?

Is it possible to learn Dropbox what is on images in a familiar way iPhone Photos....something like
1. Provide a photo of John Doe

2. Tag John Doe in the photo

3. Search for all images who have John Doe on it.

Hi @Bart__, thanks for messaging the Community!

Currently, tagging specific people to then search for them isn't possible on the Dropbox service.

However, there are two features that might help. The image search feature, which is available on certain plans, can find more generic items, like 'cat', 'tree' and so on. There is also the separate ability to tag any file as you like, so you could add people's names in that manner.

If you have any further queries, feel free to message back.

I keep all my photos in Dropbox.
Other photosolutions offer a possibility to search in photos using a photo of a person to find more photos of the same person
Will this option come to Dropbox, og will I have to swirmtch to another cloudsolution for my photos?

Hi @Hyldig! I’ve merged your post here, since your request is similar to the OP.

Please take a look at Jay’s reply above, and let me know if you have any further questions.

Is this at all on the roadmap and if so, for when? This would be a reason for me to leave my paid plan and move to Google Drive, as it allows me to search for photos of say "Thomas", which is super practical when preparing photos for a birthday, wedding, funeral, etc.

Hey @Double_h2002, I would suggest posting this as an idea on our Ideas board for other users to up-vote.
