Dropbox doesn't preserve the metadata of photos uploaded.
Question or Issue
New import photos
Hey PaweĆ, thanks for sending over more details.
In general, the original modification date of a file should only be preserved, if itâs added to Dropbox via the desktop app (this doesnât apply when the file is uploaded via the website, or the mobile app indeed).
If Iâve misunderstood something, please feel free to correct me, but other than that, Iâve 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 Iâll take a look for you.
Thanks, I'll keep trying. The information about the desktop transfer method was very helpful. Overall, I think Dropbox is a very good cloud service: fast, reliable when it comes to syncing and updating changes. It has a clear online interface (there's always room for improvement), and I hope it becomes my lifeline in case of unexpected data loss. From my perspectiveâright nowâDropbox needs to improve the Photos "department". Organizing and cataloging. Best Regards and have a good day.
