does Dropbox compressed photo files???
I'm sending full resolution photo files to clients instead of burning them on a disc, but I want to make sure they are the full resolution. I had a client that had pictures made at Walgreens, and the...
I uploaded a 107.5MB TIFF file to Dropbox using a desktop browser, then downloaded the file. I then compared the file in my download folder to the source file.
Both were exact matches down to the byte: 107,525,5436 bytes.
I then checked for JPG. Also an exact match 9,177,764 bytes.
Then I checked CR2 files (Cannon's proprietary file extension)
Drumroll...both files were 23,921,835 bytes.
If you are using some mobile app to upload your photos...switch to desktop if you care about such things, but blame the right party.
Last I checked, I do not work for Dropbox, nor do I own any stock. If you call someone a liar, you better be able to back it up at least as well as dropbox backs up your files.
@Tim F.
You need to make clear VERY CLEAR what your talking about.
You keep naming the iOS Phone app as the "Camera Upload feature", but the "Camera Upload feature" is part of the "Desktop app" (see preferences/import/camera upload), this I have used and it uploads the files the same.
As I run Android I dont have the iOS app installed, however I contacted someone with a iphone and they assure me the photos went up from it the same as well, he has 20+ years of computer technical experience and would not be making a mistake.
I suspect something else on the phone may be involved. (unproven)
