Solve issues with deleting, editing, and organizing files and folders in your Dropbox account with support from the Dropbox Community.
Dear Dropbox developers,
First of all, I really love how Dropbox is always innovating and always coming with new cool features, thanks for that! However, I am struggling with a problem for some time now. I have a lot of folders which I really need to sort on the date I created these folders, could you guys enable this function? I would appreciate it a lot! Thanks in advance.
Cheers!

Hi @3sen, thanks for bringing this to our attention.
Could you clarify if you're referring to the Dropbox site, mobile app, or using the local Dropbox folder on your computer (when at desktop app is installed)?
This will help me to assist further!

Hi Jay,
As far as I know of, this function is neither on the site, the app or local. On all platforms it doesn't say when the folder was created while I would love to see that and to be able to sort the folders to date modified/created.
We appreciate the feedback on this matter. Currently, this isn't supported by the Dropbox system, as creation dates are not stored for folders.
Depending on your file system, if your Dropbox desktop application is running and installed, then you can see the folder creation dates from within Explorer/Finder.
