How do I make my public link reflect the most recent updates to a folder?

I have a public link containing different folders that I share with co-workers but they always complain that they never know which folder is the most recently updated because it doesn't show the last date modified in the public link. Is there a way I can get that to show or at least organize it to have the most recent folders show first? This is how it looks when my co-workers see it.

    Hey Bandit-K, thanks for posting your question!

     

    With shared links, there's currently no way to show the 'date modified' of a folder, but you can see it for a file.

     

    A workaround in this case would be for you to create a folder named 'updated folders' for example, which would include the ones you've modified.

     

    Or you could rename the folders you update to 'Folder name (updated)' to indicate that they've been updated.

     

    I hope this helps a bit, but let me know if you have any questions.
