Wrong date format in email notiifcations despite settings
The date format is set to DD-MM-YYYY in my preferences, but Dropbox emails are arrving in a completely different format with the month and day inverted. I know MM-DD-YYY is used in the US, but in the UK and Europe this is incorrect for numerical dates, and when it's not obvious that the day couldn't also be a month (e.g. 03/31/2023), the problem isn't always detectable and can cause problems (meeting dates is the common issue). When reading the email below, I actually assumed Dropbox was informing me about outdated changes from Jan/Feb and that my desktop app had some kind of sync problem. Regarding what solutions I've tried from similar threads: my Dropbox language is 'non-US' English, my timezone is the one for London, my computer's region is set to UK, and its timezone is also for London. I've also cleared my browser cache etc etc, but doubt any of this will affect how Dropbox notification emails are being sent. So has anyone got any other suggestions? Will try anything at this point.
