Dropbox post dates photos to 30 Dec 2099

I noticed a few days ago that a batch of photos from an event I attended in 2008 was post dated to 30 Dec 2099. Can someone explain to me what happened and how I can fix this?

Welcome aboard our Community, Amjed S.! 

 

Are you seeing the same thing on all Dropbox platforms (website, desktop and mobile app)?

 

I’d also like a visual of what you see exactly on your end. Here’s how you can attach it to this thread (before posting your reply): 

 

 

Ping me when you’ve got more info.

    Not sure how to attach as I can't see the options bar with all the icons. To answer your question though, this "oddity" appears only on my iPhone

      Actually, I take it back. After I sent you my reply, I re-opened Dropbox via the web and noticed the same 30 Dec 2099 dated photos.

        Thanks for checking! Are you seeing the small camera icon, if you try replying via a computer directly? The option may not always appear on a mobile device.
