The Badge shows a file was edited 420 years ago
Is anyone else having issues with Badge, randomly showing "<user> last edited this file 420 years ago".
it seems to affect both mac and windows users and appears to be random- in that we can't ...
I know this issue sucks big time, and I hate being the bearer of bad news...but

Dropbox StaffHey owladmin, sorry to hear you're having issues with this.
Would it be OK if we reach out to investigate further with device and account specific information?
Yes, please contact us immediately with a fix. I honestly cant believe that with all the money we give you every single month that we still cant see when the file was last edited.

Hi Tee Dub, sorry to hear you're still having issues with this.
I just sent you an email to have a better look internally, so please have a glance at your inbox and we'll take it from there.
Thanks!
So I am guessing there is still no acknowledgement from Dropbox about this issue or a fix??
and they are ramping up the per seat fee for the licences.
seriously @Dropbox ?
We still haven't heard any updates from you.
I had the same problem and offer a possible solution.
On Windows 10 when I right clicked there was no checkmark for Local or Online Only in the SmartSync menu for the file that was edited over 400 years ago. Nor was there a checkmark for the Folder the document resided in.
Solution: I selected Local for both the folder and the document and now the Dropbox Badge reports the correct version history.
