Incorrect Timestamp shown to uploaded files

I noticed yesterday that the timestamp on my uploaded and edited files are anywhere between 6 and 9 hours earlier. My Time zone settings are set correctly.

    Hi all,

     

    The issue of incorrect modified dates showing on files uploaded via our website should now be fixed for all users. If anyone is still seeing files showing an incorrect modified time versus the timezone setting on their account please let me know!

     

    Regards,

    Frank

Some info we need: 

  • Your actual time zone
  • which timezone is set in your Dropbox.com account
  • which timezone does you phone use in its settings

If all new Camera Uploads are off by exactly n hours (where n=2 in your case) then it is likely a setting issue. If the minutes are also incorrect, then something else is going on.

Resolved the issue.

I had created a file (log.txt) that had been previously deleted from the same location. And dropbox was pulling last modified date using the file history.
