Hi @lorenzospa, thanks for bringing this to our attention.
Just for clarification, could you show how the date looks on the files page?
This will help me to assist further!

Thanks for the image. This would be the file name, and not the modification date of the file as shown on the site, which should be shown in the correct format.

Where do I read the modification date of the file?
You can see them on the files page when list view is enabled.

The chosen date format is DD/MM/YYYY, where do I read it after?
As I mentioned previously, this date is only for viewing files on the website. It doesn't rename files for you. This is where you'll see the date format.
Could you clarify where exactly you're expecting to see the filenames?
