Are these properties part of the file itself, or are they located in a separate hidden file?
Currently, there isn't a way to remove properties on files via Dropbox.

The problem is that when I try to copy the files from Dropbox to my Google Drive it gives me a message that it can't copy all the properties. I say okay, and the file moves perfectly, but it's an extra click every time I copy files.
I'm trying to find out if there is a way, either in Dropbox or in Windows, to not get that message.
I'm currently using OneDrive and that has no issues.
Dropbox renames my files, which I love, but I don't want to put up with the warning message.
So, I want to know if either there is a setting in Dropbox that will allow files to upload without those extra properties, or a setting in Windows that will allow the copy without the warning message.

Since it renames the files, which I love, I was hoping there was a way it could do other processing as well, but it is what it is.
I greatly appreciate you working with me.
Thanks
