Re: How can I download my files with the original date they were created?

MNSmith · ‎04-10-2020

I moved from Samsung to iPhone and had to use Dropbox to move my pictures between devices. However there doesn’t seem to be a way to download from Dropbox and keep the original date the photo was taken, it defaults to the date of download. Is there any way to keep the original date so I can sort by date on my phone?

Have you found a solution to this? I am having the same issue. I download an old photo to mac and it doesn't preserve the date the photo was taken!
