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.

I understand that the exif data is embedded in the image, but isn't there a way to tell Dropbox not to display it?

Hey dbacon, thanks for joining the discussion here.

 

I'm afraid there's no way within Dropbox to remove or hide the exif data of (shared) files. 

 

Let me know if you have any other questions.
