Export photo's from iCloud with the original exif information

I tried via iCloud.com and also the Photos app (multiple ways), i.e. just downloading the photo to export original file/photo. Whatever I do, the exif information about when the photo is taken, is overwritten by the date/time from the moment I export the photo.

I’m talking about the exif information within the file. The fields regarding date and time the photo was taken are changed to the date and time the photo was exported from iCloud. There is no more information in the exit file about when the photo was taken, so no way for me to simply organise the photos by day/month/year. Nor Lightroom, nor Photoshop, nor multiple other programs see any other date/time then the date/time of the export of the photo.

Yes, that’s what I meant with “export original phot”. As my OS isn’t in English, I didn’t know the correct term. Also in the unmodified photo the exif is changed and the date for photo taken is changed to the day of the export.

Sorry for my late reply. In Finder I can only see the export date, in all the EXIF information (File modification and Date/Time Original). However, I have found a solution. I uploaded all my photos to Dropbox (Camera Upload) and downloaded them there, somehow Dropbox doesn't edit the EXIF information. It's a little work around and not the solution, but it worked for me.
