Move files without properties by default

Move files without properties by default

Is there a way to set a default so Dropbox doesn't prompt me about properties?

 

I synch the pictures from my computer to Dropbox .

When I try to copy them to Google drive, it gives me a message that it won't copy some properties.

I click the box to say okay, and it copies the files perfectly for me.

 

I love that Dropbox renames the files with a date/time stamp, but the extra click every time move files is annoying.

Are these properties part of the file itself, or are they located in a separate hidden file?

 

Currently, there isn't a way to remove properties on files via Dropbox.

Since it renames the files, which I love, I was hoping there was a way it could do other processing as well, but it is what it is.

 

I greatly appreciate you working with me.

 

Thanks
