How to preserve date created with onedrive?

Question

Hello, is there a way to upload folders & files such as pdf, word, excel, image to onedrive keeping intact date created, date modified date & timestamps ? A software that I have used is vice versa pro (https://www.tgrmn.com/web/download.htm) which preserves date created, date modified and date accessed when copying across local folders and USB's but it doesn't seem to work with onedrive. Any solutions to this problem ? or if microsoft is planning a feature?

Currently, I do not find the methods to keep original creation/modification dates when uploadig to OneDrive.
If you go to OneDrive online to upload the files or folders, it will show the date of the mirrored folders or files created on OneDrive.

But if you move or copy your files or folders to your local OneDrive folder, the date will remain the same.

The folder "1" is a new folder I create on OneDrive, I move a local workbook (Do a test.xlsx) and copy a .xml (O2019.xml) file to local OneDrive folder, as following screenshots shown, their date are Initial creation time.
