I am astonished by the responses the Dropbox support gives to this question.  I believe the person posting simply wants something like a RIGHT CLICK on an image file name and get a properties readout, the way it works in a desktop OS.   (I should note that Dropbox's website interface is terrible, and they forget that many people DO NOT use the desktop sync, but use dropbox online on web, specifically to free up local space)
