Hey Slacasse, thanks for using Dropbox and welcome to our Community!

 

In regards to the creation date of your content, how did you upload it in the first place? 

 

I am assuming you used our mobile app, correct? Was it through camera uploads, or manually using the "+" sign? Do the files show the correct metadata when you access their properties after downloading it locally on your computer?

 

Any additional information is more than welcome!

I have just uploaded several videos to dropbox.  The original dates, camera info etc. are now gone.  Sadly, I deleted the videos as I was putting them on dropbox to free up space.  Is there a way to see the original data or is it just stripped away when uploading to dropbox?
