I agree. I would recommend "(2012, 2017)" to succinctly clarify that this is somehow relevant to right now and that further investigation is needed.

Note: I have flagged the parent comment so that it shows up for the moderators (and also upvoted it to counteract the impact of flagging). So, nobody else needs to flag it - if too many people do so it might go [dead].

Further investigation? They clearly state the public folder will stop working even for paid accounts on September 1st.

I'm talking about the article title as shown here. If it said "Dropbox accounts created after Oct. 2012 won't have a public folder (2012; 2017)" or perhaps "... (2017)" then readers would be able to go "okay, what's this, it has this year in it, what gives" and click it. You're only able to know about Sep 1st once you actually open the article, which in its current form seems to talk about an event from 5 years ago.
