    <title>topic &amp;quot;client_modified&amp;quot; was not updated after upload in Dropbox API Support &amp; Feedback</title>
    <link>https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Dropbox-API-Support-Feedback/quot-client-modified-quot-was-not-updated-after-upload/m-p/431470#M22843</link>
    <description>&lt;P&gt;I found that the "client_modified" of a file was not updated if the file is already exists on Dropbox.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;API:&amp;nbsp;&lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-upload" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-upload&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;This is my test steps (using HTTP request)&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;1. upload a file (with client_modified)&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;// the client_modifed was updated&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;2. upload the same file (with only client_modified time changed)&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;// the client_modified was NOT updated&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;You can get the same results from API explorer&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;A href="https://dropbox.github.io/dropbox-api-v2-explorer/#files_upload" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;https://dropbox.github.io/dropbox-api-v2-explorer/#files_upload&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;If the file contents are identical, this is the expected behavior. When the old and new file contents are exactly the same,&amp;nbsp;Dropbox doesn't consider it a change and so no new metadata is written. We'll consider it a feature request for the ability to change the client_modified without changing the file data, but I can't promise if/when that might be implemented.&lt;/P&gt;</description>
