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.

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.
As has been explained a number of times in this thread, the Dropbox iOS application that uploads from the main phone camera roll to Dropbox absolutely definitely changes files.
There is a blog post that I wrote that lays out in some detail with example files uploaded from my iPhone using a number of cloud services to show the differences, and in Dropbox's case the unique ID number embedded in the file.
I can't make any comment about the uploading of files via the desktop client or via the web as I haven't tested them, but I can say with certainty and proof that images are recompressed during upload from the iOS Dropbox app.
