i mean the xattr from files.  
When I change a tag in my filesystem.  
It would be nice to have it uploaded to Nextcloud.  
And to get it synced on other computers as in Mac, Linux, and be visible on the webapplication

_Cool, I’ve split this conversation thread into a new, linked topic._

[There is a $250 bounty for adding tag synchronization to the desktop client](https://www.bountysource.com/issues/55875935-synchronize-tags-as-well).

- [On the Android client roadmap as TBD](https://github.com/nextcloud/android/issues/2485)
- [Requested for iOS client](https://github.com/nextcloud/ios/issues/46)

Would visible tagging be possible to achieve specifically through the desktop and mobile #clients available for each OS? I’m unsure of how you can address the differences in how tagging is treated, or ignored, just within each Linux desktop environment - Gnome, KDE, XFCE, Mate, etc. Then add mobile phones, Windows, and MacOS.
