    <title>topic File and Folder Metadata server creation and server modified times in Dropbox API Support &amp; Feedback</title>
    <link>https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Dropbox-API-Support-Feedback/File-and-Folder-Metadata-server-creation-and-server-modified/m-p/443612#M23220</link>
    <description>&lt;P&gt;It would be incredibly convenient to be able to tell when files and folders have been added to our account. Ideally, we would have both a server_modified and server_created for both FileMetadata and FolderMetadata.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;For a little context, we have directories that we use for deliveries. The deliveries are each in directory per delivery. I would like to be able to archive all deliveries older than a certain date and I don't want to have to encode the date in the folder names.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Similarly, I would like to be able to tell which folders in our system haven't been touched in X days. The only way to do this that I know of is to drill down until I find a file within a folder and then use the FileMetadata's server_modified attribute. This works, but doesn't catch edge cases like empty folders.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I have seen similar feature requests being asked in the forums the last few years, has there been any movement on this? Thanks!&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Thanks for the feedback! This has been requested a few times before, but I unfortunately don't have any news on this. I'll send your request along to the team as well though.&lt;/P&gt;</description>
