Camera Upload strips location data

I'm using Android version 8.1 on a Nexus 5X and the latest Dropbox app. I've got Camera Uploads enabled and it's working nicely.

 

However the files in my Dropbox don't have the location data attached to them (the GPS data in the EXIF).

 

The files on my phone have the location data, but once they're in my Dropbox they don't.

 

On my iPhone Camera Upload works and preserves the location without problems.

 

Any tips as to why it might be losing it from the Android?
