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.
@Mark K. re "I think you should test it yourself and not just repeat what you have heard from other people."
I dont really care what you think, I informed I wasnt having changes, I informed that a well trained professional using iOS wasnt having any changes when asked by me to check for them (which is a lot different than just something someone hears).
That your argument accumulates to "But Im having changes so you must be wrong and test it yourself" only means that your having changes not that I must be wrong or that I should test it (again).
But if I was to follow your "advice" to test it my self, well then I DID, and I wasnt having the issue, so since the issue isnt being raised in the 1000's I would extrapolate that those that are having it are having it due to external effects rather than an application activity.
