When using the Dropbox API v2 Java SDK, you can get the server and client modified date/time for a file from FileMetadata.getServerModified() and FileMetadata.getClientModified(), respectively. You can get FileMetadata objects from various methods, such as from getMetadata or listFolder/listFolderContinue.

When uploading files you can set the client modified date/time using UploadBuilder.withClientModified. It's not possible to override the serverModified date/time though.
