We don't see creation/modification dates for our folders.

Explanation: Why dont we see dates on Folders, this is kinda destroys propper workflow. When i compare files, i need to make sure im using last ones. We can compare this properly offlone. The folder dont show any meta data for modified or created.

This issue is visible when online as well in mobile app.

Perhaps it's another limitation off free plan?

    Its is mobile app on android as well as viewing dropbox online through mobile browser.

    The website doesnt seem to be optimized for mobile first. For instance, pressing file info, should show info tab. It doesnt work

    Hi

    You are correct. The website does not show any folder date/modified data. That is no a plan issue, its just not possible. 

    You could suggest it as a new idea, however, over here

    Why not possible? I mean its just meta-data, simply can be stored as files upload
