Hiding picture data

Hi there. I'm new to drop box so please excuse any ignorance. I have basic Dropbox, how do I hide my photo info (camera, settings etc) when sending pics? Thank you.

Walter This info block. Every time someone uploads a file, it shows his name, but it is super insecure and needs to be hidden. How to do it?

Hi Glebich, sorry for jumping in.

 

I am afraid there is currently no way to hide the "uploaded by" part of the metadata.

 

If you want to see a way to strip metadata, on the Dropbox website, please post it on the Share an idea board.

 

For the rest of the metadata, you can use the steps outlined by Rich.

 

Hope that clears things up.
