I just went into one of my client folders and noticed that each and every file now have a revised "date modified" changed to the date I put the files on dropbox! This is a minor disaster - I didn't realize how much I relied on those dates.
How do I keep the "date modified" from changing when I transfer files over to dropbox? Because the whole "date modified" thing becomes pointless/useless despite being really valuable/helpful.
Ugh!
There is no way right now that Dropbox can change this option for you, the way that Dropbox works when uploading the files makes it to be modified on the folder where you are uploading the folder. The creation date I believe is what changes, Modified date has always been kept at least in the Windows Dropbox.
