    From your image, it looks like that's specific for Dropbox?

    If so, I'd recommend reading up on Dropbox API. You'd be sending HTTP request through API to manipulate tags.
    https://www.dropbox.com/developers/d.../http/overview

    Just note that Dropbox only accepts UTF-8 string (see link below for code to URLEncode ASII).

    Not neccessarily for dropbox items.
    I need it for any directory.
