I have a issue with rclone + dropbox. Every time i restart the mount i get todays date on the folders. So all sorting etc is impossible. As long as its up the dates are there when i create a new folder. But gone after restart. Files in the folders are fine.
Worked fine with gdrive.
rclone v1.62.2
os/version: ubuntu 22.04 (64 bit)
os/kernel: 5.15.0-73-generic (x86_64)
rclone does not support modtime for folders AFAIK
There is plenty of open github issues related to this, e.g.:

#### What is the problem you are having with rclone?
I did `sudo rclone copy --metadata <src> <dest>` as root user
To validate the dest content, I did the restore using same rclone cmdline interchanging src and dest as root user.
While the files get the right attributes (permission level, owner, group), the folder has got root:root and restore date.

Oh. Worked fine with gdrive. But thats not because of rclone i guess.
Dropbox doesn't have it available in the API I believe or did not when it was first implemented possibly as well.
I use the beta for now and use:
--default-time 2023-01-01
So any 'old' folders always get that time instead of the mount time. Any 'new' folders would have a current timestamp on creation.
What is interesting is that when I login to dropbox web interface I can see folders mod times
so yes there might be that rclone is not perfect here. By legacy implementation of Dropbox API or by design I am not sure
I haven't rechecked as it is present in the data, just not sure if the API supports it now or not.
Hi, that "--default-time 2023-01-012 is available in mount command too?
