Question or Issue
Hi,
in the web browser version of dropbox, when choosing file info, the date are shown in 2 differents formats, that is very confusing to understand when looking at dates like 11/5/2025 and 5/11/2025 for example, which one is month?
Modified : day/month/year
date upload: month/day/year
date created: month/day/year
here is a screenshot when you can see

To update anyone following this thread. It is partially fixed
It seems like modified and date uploaded are now in the same format, but now date created is on a different format
It works if I change the date format to DD/MM/YYY. So it’s halfway corrected.
Hi,
Thank you for helping me.
I changed date format to YYYY/MM/DD, logged out, logged back in
and now I get this
date uploaded is still in the wrong formatI tried using chrome
chrome version
Chrome is up to date

Welcome back to the Community, admin123!
It is my understanding that you're having a similar issue with all files that are saved on your Dropbox account online, correct?
As a test, can you try to change your date format settings here, sign out and back in to your Dropbox account and let me know if you keep seeing the same thing after that?
If you do, I’d also like you to check this via a different web browser.
Let me know how it goes.
