Move files without properties by default
Is there a way to set a default so Dropbox doesn't prompt me about properties?
I synch the pictures from my computer to Dropbox .
When I try to copy them to Google drive, it gives me a message that it won't copy some properties.
I click the box to say okay, and it copies the files perfectly for me.
I love that Dropbox renames the files with a date/time stamp, but the extra click every time move files is annoying.
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.

Is this the prompt you're referring to?
If so, that's not from Dropbox. It's from your operating system.
Bummer!
Not the answer I was hoping for, but thank you for letting me know.
Is there a way to have dropbox download the files without the extended properties?
I'm sure not, but I have to ask.
Onedrive doesn't have the issue.
