Limitations

• Timestamps

  Dropbox profiles do not preserve modified timestamps when copying files.  Copied files are timestamped with the time of the copy.  To work around the issue, copy the timestamp from the Dropbox file back to the local file using the Actions | Touch command.

• Team Folders

  Team folders are not supported.
