Truncated EXIF text when displaying info on a JPEG picture file

Truncated EXIF text when displaying info on a JPEG picture file

I use Dropbox to store lots of family photos. I often extensively annotate each JPEG photo using EXIF data. By clicking on the "i" icon, I can see this data when I display the photo. BUT, I'm finding that this data is truncated, possible after about a few hundred characters. Is this by design, or is this a bug?

Pick a few files where the data is truncated and copy the truncated text from each one and paste it into a character counter. Are they all the same number of characters? If so, Dropbox is likely just displaying the first X number of characters.

Need more support?
