Date of file changes from UK to USA version when added to Dropbox
I have produced a spreadsheet, but when its put into dropbox the dates changed from UK to USA version. Is there away to stop this
Thanks inadvance
Thanks for the screenshot, Lyn14! From your screenshot, it looks like you’re previewing the file on the Dropbox website.
Can you please click on the “Open in” button above the preview, and open your file with Excel for the web instead? Do you still see the dates in the US format then?
If yes, do you see any option to switch to the UK format instead?

I find the same often happens 😞
Do check, however, that in Account Settings (https://www.dropbox.com/account/general) your date format is set correctly.
Thank you for your reply. I had not realised there was a format date in the dropbox but having checked it was the UK format.
So not sure what to do.
Mark, Thanks for helping. This is what I was doing wrong, thought it might help you
