Hiding picture data
Hi there. I'm new to drop box so please excuse any ignorance. I have basic Dropbox, how do I hide my photo info (camera, settings etc) when sending pics? Thank you.

- Hi Rich,
Thank you. Really!? That'll stop me using it! I need my EXIF data just not for this. It's mission chopping and changing. Thank you so much for getting back to me.I also need to hide this INFO block from the dropbox image viewer. How to do it? Even if I clean up metadata from the image, it still exists there.
I understand that the exif data is embedded in the image, but isn't there a way to tell Dropbox not to display it?
When you share a photo via dropbox, you can click in the bottom lower left corner info button ( circled "i") how do you turn this off as I don't want to ave this seen...?

Hey kree photography, thanks for joining our Community.
I just wanted to mention that there's no way within Dropbox to remove or hide the exif data of (shared) files. This includes the camera info you mentioned as its part of the file's metadata.
Let us know if you have any other questions.
