You might see that the Dropbox Community team have been busy working on some major updates to the Community itself! So, here is some info on what’s changed, what’s staying the same and what you can expect from the Dropbox Community overall.

Preserve file Creation Dates(and other metadata) in mobile app versions
The ability to preserve, view, sort by, etc the original Creation Dates(and other metadata) of files is missing or severely limited in the Dropbox mobile apps. People who don’t use Dropbox primari...
onlyone311 I agree with this as well. There should be the ability to see ALL creation, modification, AND upload dates for ALL types of files, as well as any folders, etc. It’s a basic feature in file explorer applications, device photo/video/audio galleries/etc. These applications exist on mobile devices as well as computers and those dates are preserved within those apps if it’s a decent one. I’m completely confused and frustrated since discovering that this is not the case for an app like Dropbox, considering it’s supposed to be a top of the line cloud backup app.
And especially for those of us who PAY for a premium subscription it isn’t right that computer owners get more for their money, ESPECIALLY very BASIC functionality such as preservation and ability to view/sort by/etc the ORIGINAL creation dates of our files/pics/video/FOLDERS.
im not saying that modified dates should be removed, quite the opposite. We need to be able to view & sort by ALL of these, without sacrificing one thing for another, denying us the ability to even VIEW file information for non-photo files, not including sort-by-creation-date functionality, and other such basic functions that have been a standard of folder/file functionality since even before the World Wide Web made the internet accessible to almost everyone in the world.
