How to get dropbox upload info?

Back in June my 4G LG Motion was stolen and had my dropbox setup to auto download on WiFi. Well Im still getting photo uploads to my dropbox acct. I'm leaving this db acct. active only to the stolen phone and setup a new acct. for my normal use. What I want is to get any file upload info like where uploaded from wifi or anything to possibly locate my phone. I've tried to contact db with no response. Since it was a few months ago I had to report as stolen so nobody could put it in service and I may recover it one day. I already tried to push androidlost app to it but found out ICS & JB blocks pushing by Google. I'm told g maps can also show locations but I can't figure how. This has now become a project I'm going to see to the end or until there's no activity. If it helps, my new phone has been rooted with OEM metro jb 4.1.2.
 
Did you have your camera app set to geotag pics? Can't you try looking at the meta data for the uploaded pics to get a rough idea of where they've been taken?

NOPE... I've tried all different ways to get any info including Google goggles and all I can ID was Marriot's Great America. If you or anyone else knows a way I'd like to know the secret.
 
Download the photos, right click one, select properties, then details. It should give you a load of information about the photo, including location if geotagging is on.

Alternatively, use something like this: EXIF Data Viewer


Thanx for the great info but I guess the GPS wasn't on because the only details available was date, settings and your link confirmed this but maybe one of times the GPS will be on and I'll have my victims.
