Description

Native tagging system could be much more useful if tags could be searched and edited from the phone app. It would be great especially for managing photos as currently gallery cannot use tags and the previews in list view are really small. Even more so, one could use spare idle times like riding on a bus to organize all photos (especially with beta app and it's great previews)

It could also be the only way of tagging several files at once (currently not possible).

I'm aware that I posted this idea on the old ownCloud forum already :smile: but it came back to me when I read the issue about search behavior

Unfortunately I cannot help with coding, I just wanted to ask your opinion on the matter..

Research direction
Review the current Nextcloud Android app codebase for any existing tagging functionality. Examine the app's data models and network layer to understand how file metadata is stored and retrieved. Check the Nextcloud server API documentation for tag support. Explore UI components for creating and searching tags. Consult the comments in the issue for additional context.
