How to sort photos in a Dropbox folder by creation date( date/time photo taken)
I am missing the feature to sort photos only by "photo taken date/time".
In Dropbox I created a folder to store all my photos for a recent trip. It includes not only photos from my camera but als...
Hello Lusil,
Thanks for your reply. The previous upload had been thru the Aperture on my IMAC.
After your recommendation I directly uploaded a photo I had taken on my IPhone.
Same result, even when viewing thru Dropbox Desktop application on IMAC.
The creation date in Dropbox is identical to upload date and not when photo was taken.
So I guess manual renaming of photos is the workaround.
Greetings, Rolian
I have found the same problem but only with the app. If you look at your photos using the Dropbox website you can sort by ascending/descending but the difference is that it uses the photo creation date, not the date uploaded. Why they could not make the app work the same way I cannot understand. I have reported this to the developers 6 months ago but nothing has changed yet. So frustrating as I have all my photos neatly uploaded into a different folder for each subject (I.e. Holiday destination) but when you view them they are in a useless sequence.
