Today's date is added to the filenames of my photos, when I upload them via the iOS mobile app.

I'm going into the Dropbox app on iPhone and uploading photos. The photos file names are uploading with today's date. How can I get it to upload with the date the photo was captured?

    How are you uploading? That can vary what happens.

    Only some are uploading with today's date. Some are uploading with the correct capture date
