Remove metadata for privacy reasons #2151

It would be great to have an option to delete metadata from files automatically after upload. Like the ones you have in a PDF file (e.g. author) or the information about your camera for images etc.

There's a googolplex amount of different files that contain metadata. Or should it just edit the unencrypted docx, odt, pdf, png, jpeg, tiff, webp, m4a, m4v, wav, mp3, mkv, avi, mov, xlsx, ods, odp, ogg, eml, txt, etc.?

I think a checkbox to delete all metadata would be great for any type of file - if that is possible from technically point of view. That option could have a default value which can be set in settings. And you can change that for every mail individually. Maybe even for each attached file separately?
