Hey Slacasse, thanks for using Dropbox and welcome to our Community!

 

In regards to the creation date of your content, how did you upload it in the first place?

I have just uploaded several videos to dropbox.  The original dates, camera info etc. are now gone.  Sadly, I deleted the videos as I was putting them on dropbox to free up space.  Is there a way to see the original data or is it just stripped away when uploading to dropbox?
