OneDrive - Different "Date Created" of the exact same file

Question

For the same picture I have in OneDrive, I see the correct "Date Created" when checking its properties in the OneDrive folder in my computer. But the "Date Created" of the exact same file is different when viewing it online in OneDrive; it is the date that I uploaded the file to OneDrive. How can I fix it? Thank you!

Answer 1

Hi @Montrealer Tran

This is most likely due to the difference between when you created the file locally and when the file was actually uploaded to the cloud (OneDrive). There may be a difference in times as the file was created at a different time on OneDrive itself versus your device.

The only thing I can really think of is there may have been a delay or a requirement for you to sign-in to sync your files.
