### Modified time and MD5SUMs ### ### Modified time and MD5SUMs ###
Dropbox doesn't have the capability of storing modification times or Dropbox doesn't provide the ability to set modification times in the
MD5SUMs so syncs will effectively have the `--size-only` flag set. V1 public API, so rclone can't support modified time with Dropbox.
This may change in the future - see these issues for details:
* [Dropbox V2 API](https://github.com/ncw/rclone/issues/349)
* [Allow syncs for remotes that can't set modtime on existing objects](https://github.com/ncw/rclone/issues/348)
Dropbox doesn't return any sort of checksum (MD5 or SHA1).
Together that means that syncs to dropbox will effectively have the
`--size-only` flag set.
