WARNING for users of Dropbox (Beta) integration with Microsoft 365/Word
Anyone concerned with the “last modified date” of their files should NOT use the Dropbox (Beta) integration sent out by Dropbox earlier in the week. Once the Beta is installed in Word, it will alter the dates of every file you open, even if you do nothing to the file. If the last modified date was, say, June 27, opening the file merely to look at, making NO changes, the last modified date will change to the date you open the file. The problem occurs in Mac and Windows.
This is a disaster for law offices, which count on the last modified dates in a number of ways.
