- | ===== 1 File modified times ===== | + | Some timestamp metadata is synchronized with that of the storage provider. |
- | Hovering over the time field or looking at the file info pane in the File Fabric Web Browser shows 4 different times:\\ \\ **SME Created (if SaaS) Storage Created (if on-premises)** | + | ## File Metadata |

+ | From the File Info Pane you can view all four possible timestamps. They are shown in your local time (as determined from the browser). | ||

- | Files that are uploaded from a Mac, Windows or Linux Drive client, or via sync should have the timestamps fully preserved, but converted to UTC (with local time also being shown in browser and on desktop). | + | * **< |

+ | ## Troubleshooting | ||
+ | |||
+ | ### Uploading from the web | ||
+ | |||
+ | If files are uploaded from the Cloud File Manager then original modified timestamps are preserved except for the Safari browser which will use the timestamp of when the files was uploaded for the modified time as it is not possible from the Safari to obtain the modified time on upload. | ||
+ | ### Uploading from the desktop | ||
+ | |||
+ | Files that are uploaded from a Mac, Windows or Linux Drive client, or via sync should have the timestamps fully preserved. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ### Uploading via protocol adaptors | ||
+ | |||
+ | 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. | ||
+ | ### Cloud Drive for Windows | ||
+ | |||
+ | 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. | ||
