Describe your issue in detail
I’m a new Pydio user, I want to have a straighforward personnal cloud solution (unlike Nextcloud) I it seems to do the job !
But I have a major issue : the timestamp of the files I upload to Pydio are not preserved ! The upload timestamp is rewritten in the file.
How to solve this issue ?
I have a “structured file” storage. My Pydio folder are on a Truenas dataset, allowing me to access my files through SMB in case Pydio fails. I’m aware of the sync issues if the files are modified directly through SMB, it’s just a fallback solution, Cells Sync should be my main entry point to manage my files.
To be more explicit, here is some examples where the date is preserved in Dropbox, but not in Pydio.
On my laptop, in a local folder, I have this file :
Now if I put it in a folder in my Dropbox client I have this output on the Dropbox online interface :
If I do the same with Pydio (put the file in my Cells Sync folder, on look onto the web interface) :
When checking my SMB share (where Pydio is storing my files) :
What version of Cells are you using?

What steps have you taken to resolve this issue already?
I just check the Internet looking for information. In older threads it was said that this was a limitation of Pydio. I guess it’s resolved by now ?
