Trouble with setting time zone
My time zone is not showing correctly. If I load a file it registers as having it done it 11 hours in the past? Any help would be appreciated so I can accurately track activity in my files.

I cannot change the time zone in the settings of my Dropbox account. It is stuck as GMT-05:00 Eastern?

And you've changed the Automatic time zone switch from On to Off?

I don't know how this will work over time, but by changing my time zone to the country of Mauritania I'm getting times within about 5 minutes of actual East Coast U.S. time.
Changing my time zone to East Coast U.S. was encouraging at first, but didn't work.
I hope this helps.
sorry for digging this out again. Toggling between ON and OFF does not work for me. Had huge problems either because using a VPN with another time zone server or it was related to the time change in Europe last weekend. Can't figure that out anymore as I did all in that same night. I like to deactivate this automatic setting but I can't.
