How can I view the metadata of a file on the mobile app for Android OS?

Have just changed from Apple to Android.
How can I view metadata?
There is no 'About' function when using the Dropbox Android app

    Although there's no direct option to see metadata from the mobile app, you can check out file info from the website. You can find more info about this, here

     

    Let me know if you have any other questions, thanks!
