Photos uploaded not listed by creation date

We mainly use 2 smartphone to upload our photos in different personalised folders. The folders are OK but when we view the Photos category listed per months is a complete mess: most pictures are list...

Hey DaniFati, thanks for reaching out to our Community.

 

Are you referring to the Photos tab in the Dropbox app?

 

How do the photos appear on this page?

 

And if you open the photos to preview them and choose to see the info for each photo, are you able to view the metadata that way?

 

Keep me posted.

Thanks Hannah, yes I reger tl the photos tab in the mobile app (both Android and iPhone). On the page the photos appear as in the mobile app with the same random listing. The photos do not have the original creation date in their file info, neither in the smartphone used to upload it nor in any other device: the date shown is when the upload took place.

    Hey DaniFati, sorry to jump in here and thanks for the clarification.

     

    I'm not sure if this would help, but have you considered using our naming conventions and/or the multi-file organize feature perhaps?

     

    Let me know if that would help with what you had in mind.
