Why Dropbox Wants Location Services On for an iPhone or iPad

I usually leave Location Services on my iPhone and iPad turned on. However, I must have turned it off on the iPad for some kind of test and neglected to turn it back on before trying to copy a screenshot to Dropbox for later use. You can see the warning I received from Dropbox that: Dropbox needs location access.

The question is why does Dropbox need my location just upload files? Fortunately, Dropbox itself provides the answer which popped up on my iPad and is also available on their website.
