Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

  • Not an actual problem, it's just that I sometimes do not want to share EXIF data on publicly generated links

Describe the solution you'd like

  • A toggle/checkbox at the sharing (like the "set expiration date" etc..) which can remove the EXIF only from the shared image/album, but actually keep the EXIF on the original photo/video

Describe alternatives you've considered

  • Probably remove the "Info" button from the shared image, but that probably is a bad solution since the image can still be downloaded and the EXIF extracted, but still an alternative...

Additional context

Research direction

No source file, test, or entry point is named; begin by tracing the public-share flow for single photos, videos, and albums, including the sharing controls. Done means a share-level toggle removes EXIF from the generated public media while preserving EXIF on the originals, with coverage for both individual media and whole albums.
