How to view the full date in a directory listing on the site?

Device
Web
Operating System/Browser (if using the web)
Firefox/Chrome MacOS
Question or Issue

How do I view full dates, not relative dates, when listing files and folders? So basically:

<filename> <type> <2025-11-30 21:55>

Not "one hour ago"

nor "six months ago" 

Relative dates mean nothing to my use cases.

GUI
Mac
Web

    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.

    Hi emr1, thanks for messaging the Community!

    Are you only referring to the files as they appear on the Dropbox site?

    Have you changed any settings on the account page?

    Any other info or screenshots would be helpful!
