EXIF data when recovering files.

hello, 

 

Can someone explain what this is on the photos we recovered from Dropbox, etc.? Is it consistent w/the date the photos were taken, created, edited, uploaded, etc.?   Will EXIF data be changed on photos or videos?

 

Thanks in advanced

If you edit a photo, some software will update the EXIF data to reflect the changes, while others may leave it unchanged  When you upload a photo to a site like Dropbox, the EXIF data is usually preserved, but some sites may strip out this data for privacy reasons

Hey @fathead7466, thanks for posting here today! 

 

I agree with David here.

 

Keep in mind that when your content is deleted, and then restored the properties, and data of your file should remain the way they were before.

 

If you need something else, please let me know and I will be more than happy to help every step of the way!

 Catagories.pngCan you explain each line according to this picture of when photo was uploaded, when it was last accessed, which line is showing the original file name.
