Retain modified date upon upload

Pydio Cells
1

For first post, please answer the questions below!

Describe your issue in detail

When I upload a file or folder (drag and drop), the modified date/time changes to current date/ time. I would like to retain the original modified date and time of the uploaded file. Is there a way to do that. Also, is there a way to have the original file creation date & time?

What version of Cells are you using?

4.4.8

What is the server OS? Database name/version? Browser name or mobile device description (if issue appears client-side)?

Linux VM, MariaDB 10.6

What steps have you taken to resolve this issue already?

Explored settings, searched forums - couldn’t find a good answer

Hi @junglebell
welcome and thanks for posting!
Currently this is not possible, the mtime kept is indeed the creation time inside the server.

Thanks @charles, appreciate your response.

Is it possible to override this behavior - especially for data that is being imported into Pydio? Or, run some post import script after import?

The use case is to import large amount of data that goes back several years / decades. Losing date/ time metadata on these is not preferred. Thank you.
