You might see that the Dropbox Community team have been busy working on some major updates to the Community itself! So, here is some info on what’s changed, what’s staying the same and what you can expect from the Dropbox Community overall.

Include time zone info in top line of sent faxes
When sending, Dropbox Fax adds the legally-required top line with time stamp and sender info, but the time is ambiguous because the time zone is not included.
From my observation so far, Dropbox Fax seems to use US Pacific time. Other fax services may use different zones, but they print the zone after the time. For example, I've received eFax messages labeled "EDT" or "GMT". 8x8's web site says they use GMT.
Ideally, the time zone should match that configured in the sender's preferences, but Dropbox support tells me that is impossible. (Really??)
But if it can't be configured, then GMT might be a better choice than US Pacific.
In any case, the time zone should be printed to eliminate ambiguity.
So, it's been a year. Have you not been able to fix tghis glitch? As an attorney, knowing when a fax was actually sent is critical. . . Having to guess that the time stamp DropBox provides is actually 3 hours different because it is presumably using PST is not helpful.
Having the ability to either change the time to my local time (Eastern) or to have the time stamps in the system reflect Pacific time, is.
