+ | |||
+ | The Cloud Drive on Windows maps these fields to the Windows filesystem files: | ||
+ | |||
+ | * **Date created** - Storage Created Time | ||
+ | * **Date modified** - Storage Created Time | ||
+ | * **Date last saved** - Local Desktop Time (if available) or Storage Created Time | ||
+ | * **Date accessed** - Last Accessed Time | ||
+ | |||
+ | For folders: | ||
+ | |||
+ | * **Date created** - Storage Created Time | ||
+ | * **Date modified** - Storage Modified Time | ||
+ | * **Date last saved** - Storage Modified Time | ||
+ | * **Date accessed** - Last Cloud Refresh | ||
+ | |||
+ | ### Cloud Drive for Mac | ||
+ | |||
+ | The Cloud Drive for Mac maps these fields to MacOS files: | ||
+ | |||
+ | * **Created** - Storage Created Time | ||
+ | * **Modified** - Storage Modified Time | ||
+ | * **Date Added** - Not mapped. Shows when the folder was first added to the drive. | ||
+ | * **Date Last Opened** - Not mapped. Shows when a file was last opened from the drive. | ||
- | If files are uploaded over CloudDav or CloudFTP protocol adaptor then timestamp preservation depends on the client tool used and whether it issues the command to change the file timestamp. |
