    @Gohbh Unfortunately this is not currently possible with Blob storage. There is an open feature request for this here. Please feel free to comment there with your specific use case.

    Hi, we would like to sync target folders/files to Blob storage with original timestamp and on the next run, it should only sync the updated version similar to Robocopy. Is there any workaround?

    @boonhockgohNYKSM-0404 Firstly, apologies for the delay in responding here and any inconvenience this issue may have caused. So, blob folders don't actually exist. Empty folders won't be preserved, nor will folder properties.

    Furthermore, I don't believe we can preserve timestamps in blob storage, sadly. I'd suggest the try azure files if you are looking for that kind of functionality

    If you are really looking for this kind of feature, you can leave your feedback here. All the feedback you share in these forums
    will be monitored and reviewed by the Microsoft engineering teams responsible for building Azure.

    Hope this helps!

    Kindly let us know if the above helps or you need further assistance on this issue.
