Are naming convention dates for file request in sender or user local time

[mattd1]

Hi all,

I'm trying to figure out if the date/time component of naming conventions in file requests are in my local time or the sender's local time.  When I send files to myself (e.g. via an incognito tab) it is in my local time, but I'm unsure what would happen if another user (in a different timezone) sent me files.  Anyone know?

I'm using the timestamp to move files around and ensure that they are still not being uploaded (e.g. in a folder) and all of the uploads stay together.

Cheers

Hey @mattd1, thanks for using Dropbox and welcome to our Community!
 

In this scenario, the timestaps for files uploaded to your file requests should reflect your local timezone, regardless of the time-zone the person who uploaded the file(s) is in at the moment. 

I hope this helps!
