Recently Changed Files aren't...recent.
I'm baffled as to why when I look at the dropbox app's list of supposedly 'Recently Changed FIles' NONE of them are recent;y changed files. Right at the top of the list are often files I'd totally f...
Well I guess that's me very neatly swept under the carpet then!
Even though Dropbox for Linux Mint is advertised and available for download for Linux Mint, Dropbox are not prepared to look into problems with it!

Super User IIIs something else changing them?
For example updating the metadata due to being updated in iTunes?
I guess that's exactly why I came here to ask.
If I knew anything that would be changing or updating my dropbox files, then I'd know the answer myself.
The list of supposedly 'recently changed files' are of varying file types.
A lot of PDF's, some image files, documents, spreadsheets etc.
Some of when they are indeed 'recent' may have been changed by me, but they're mostly old files, and PDF's and images, are not being edited or changed, so why are they in the list?
At the very top of the list right now is a PDF document that - when I look at it with my file manager - shows it was created and modified on 23/10/23 three months ago. So that's the date I will have saved it in my dropbox folder.
It will not have been touched - or shouldn't have been touched - by anything since then.
Why is it showing up as being a recently changed file?
