How to Export or Download photos from Dropbox and retain the original capture date and metadata?

I cannot work out how to export or download photos stored in Dropbox quickly.  And worse still, I cannot work out how to retain the original dates of the images when I do download them.  What is the correct workflow for this?

    Hey thephotocurator, thanks for posting your query to the Dropbox Community.

     

    How are you currently exporting/downloading your photos from Dropbox?

     

    Have you tried syncing the files using the Dropbox desktop app?

     

    Let me know how it goes.
