The Badge shows a file was edited 420 years ago
Is anyone else having issues with Badge, randomly showing "<user> last edited this file 420 years ago".
it seems to affect both mac and windows users and appears to be random- in that we can't ...
I know this issue sucks big time, and I hate being the bearer of bad news...but

Hi All,
still no fix, issue still appearing occasionally and as far as I know- no one is changing their file/folder dates to 1601.
I still can not find a replicable cause either.
Hey @dropboxsupport how about addressing this?
cheers
March 2023 and still not fixed. What is the deal? I find it hard to believe it's not a Dropbox issue.

Hi crthrockmorton, if you locate the file in Explorer/Finder, when was the last modification date according to the properties of the file?
Is this occurring for all your files, or only certain ones?
It's not just the one file. One of the files was modified 3/15/23 at 7:58 am. We have many other files that are shared files and are sometimes updated daily. I can't say for sure if each one of them is affected or not. I also don't always pay attention to the thing that pops up on the side that shows the modification.
jay what a funny question, just delay, misdirect, and put the ball back in our court.
you know **bleep** well that the file wasnt edited in the 1600's.
we are all having this issue, our company has had it for 4 years
stop asking stupid questions, fix the issue of it showing the file was edited by a member 420 years ago and be done with this thread
own it jay, own the issue and resolve it
it is completely a dropbox issue that we have complained about for over 4 years now
they misdirect, absolve themselves of responsibility, and put the ball back in your court to waste even more of your time, and finally get you to quit asking about it and just live with it
its the most ridiculous issue that could ever be, like computers were around in the 1600's i mean cmon
no other program, file, or application has this issue and they just keep going in circles with non answers and stupid questions
Yes, I saw the long thread of messages over the last few years. Thought I'd bring it up again to see if anything will be done but I'm not really expecting a fix. It's funny how I don't have this issues with an of my other Windows applications.
