Dropbox doesn't preserve the metadata of photos uploaded.
Question or Issue
New import photos
Hey Paweł, thanks for sending over more details.
In general, the original modification date of a file should only be preserved, if it’s added to Dropbox via the desktop app (this doesn’t apply when the file is uploaded via the website, or the mobile app indeed).
If I’ve misunderstood something, please feel free to correct me, but other than that, I’ve passed all of your feedback on to our team.
Also, if you have any examples of discrepancies when it comes to the metadata of your photos on Dropbox, you can always send me a couple of screenshots here and I’ll take a look for you.
