Assuming that this is for https://www.dropbox.com/home , then you can right click a folder and select "Folder Info", which will display some info about the folder including the full datetime of its last modification.

This doesn't help at all. Yes, it's on the home page. I need to sort, and see at a glance what the exact date and time is. The website does not provide this. (for example, you can typically edit your filesystem's manager settings to display this information, either through locale settings or round about general system preferences, etc.)
