Dropbox Community ModeratorHey Rombout V. - can you provide some additional information about the issue you're facing?
For example, what is your computer's OS version and the version and status of the Dropbox desktop app as shown in your menu bar/system tray?
A screenshot of where you're checking the creation date of your files would also help!
Well i was looking at drop.com through mobile browser using it as desktop. This doesnt seem to work properly then
Just checked on desktop and i do see it. In web browser it does show this, accept for creation date
The app i cant see the file info, its just this small popup from tray-menu
