The most recent UX report stated that some people need the exif data. So this should be an opt-in for those who are interested, and not just turned on for everyone (like Wire does). Maybe opt-out.

i think it is not only about exif but also about having the original files that may be needed for documentation purposes. however, if you send the images as “files”, they are always sent “as is”, unrecoded and with unchanged content.

oh, that’s a quite good solution.

  • send as image - exif data removed.
  • send as file - file is untouched.
