stop finder tags from syncing in dropbox

I would like to use Finder tags to organize things on my computer, but any organization I do is un-done by the large number of people working across my work-related drop boxes who are also using tags. I know I could create my own unique tag names and hide all others, but would also prefer not to send my tags to everyone else attached to synced files and chance having them just start using the ones I created, starting the cycle all over again. Is there a way to prevent the system from syncing this tag information? (Have already asked Dropbox support about this, seems like if there is a way it would have to be through Finder?)

Thank you!
