media_info=NOT_SET even if they are actually visible from web interface
Hello, I'm using Python APIs.
When I try getting metadata for one JPG file from a folder, for example using
dbx.files_get_metadata("path/to/image.jpg")
I see the tag media_info=NOT_SET. On the other hand, if I go to the browser and check the file, in the toolbar I see this:
Any idea on why this happens?

In order to get 'media_info' set, you'll need to set include_media_info=True when calling files_get_metadata.
Note though that the 'media_info' returned by the Dropbox API does not contain all of the same information shown on the Dropbox web site.
