Dropbox app compressed my photos
I use Dropbox to store my photos for years and I just discovered that all my files are compressed ! I uploaded a 4M and it turned out to be 800k. I try to download it and it is still 800k. Is Dropbox ...

I opened the website, uploaded the same photo and it is the same size 4.7M.

👍Ok... As seems you have found a way that works for you. 😉
PS: I just tried on my own to add a photo to Dropbox as you described and download the same picture direct from the phone:
As you can see both photos are absolutely the same one. The only difference is the folder they reside in. It's the same when Dropbox application is in use (non automatic upload - i.e. plus + button) and when Dropbox website is in use.
Here is the photo before and after, and I clicked the upload button on the app.
- I think I know why but I am still confused. So if I scroll down when viewing a photo , it shows 6.3M, but if I opened it on snapseed it shows 1.7M which is what Dropbox gave me. Why is this ?
