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?
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.

Dropbox StaffHey Lyn14, would you mind sending us a screenshot of where you're seeing this?
Also, how are you adding the file to Dropbox?
Hi
I download the dropbox file to my computer to add information then I upload to the relevant folder on dropbox

Thanks for the screenshots, Lyn14.
So, are you opening the file locally on your computer to edit it?
How does the file appear when you're previewing it on dropbox.com, does it have the correct date format there?
Hi I sent 2 Screen Shots. I am at home when I open the spreadsheets
1. is the computer shot - with the UK date format
2. is the same spreadsheet but up loaded into the dropbox which then changes the format USA
Hope I am explaining myself
