OneDrive changing the dates on my photos?!?!?

IF you use the  file manager,/copy utility,  TERACOPY  which works seamlessly with Win !0 file manager,   when you transfer files (copy or move)  ...........  THE DATES WILL NOT CHANGE.

THAT IS A COMPLETE SOLUTION

Not a solution.

You're presenting a workaround as everyone else.

Using local computer to sort by date taken or using a third party tool is all workarounds.

Onedrive solutions must be within the onedrive i.e. online.

Photo-view needs option to sort by date taken at the very least!

Best would be if both original creation and taken date remained the same... this is a basic flaw for all files imo, original create date should be original create date... otherwise that meta data is superfluos and quite frankly misguiding.

You  have data and you have tools.   When you manipulate the data you use the right tool that gets the job done.   If you find out your pliers dont hammer very well, then get a hammer.   One Drive is a tool.  Use it for what it does well and pick the tools you need to meet your objective.  Or not.  Hit yourself in the shin for self inflicted grief or make a good choice of tools.   I told you what works 100 percent and you can insist on using a broken tool if you want.

Greg, Tamara presented a solution to solve the problem without needing anything extra. I can't speak for someone else, but it looks like she was solving the problem in the simplest way possible, without requiring any third-party tools and not asking a question. 

The info she provided is absolutely correct and the same one others here, including me, have provided. I find this whole thread silly at this point. Pretty clear people are posting their complaints without reading the thread, because the solution has already been provided: People are looking at the WRONG FIELD. "Date Created" (or sometimes shown as "Created on" or just "Created") is the wrong field. As long as you use the "Date Taken" field, everything works fine. Depending on the tool used to copy or move a file, the Created field may reflect the date it was placed on the new drive (e.g., OneDrive) or not. It is up to the copying tool to determine that. The Date Taken field, on the other hand, ALWAYS reflects the date the picture was taken. Sort by that and everything is golden.

This brings me back to why I started this thread months ago.  The Date Taken field does not always reflect the date on which a given photo was actually taken.  Some (but not all) pictures in OneDrive default to a Date Taken of January 1, 1970  (1/1/70).  This seems to be completely random, or at least I have not recognized any pattern as to why this may appear on one photo, but not another.  I surmise that there is an issue in OneDrive code.  Does anyone else have this issue and / or see that given date (1/1/70) associated with any of your collection?

I had the same issue with photos that were taken via digital cameras and all the pictures were randomly sorted.  Since I am now using my Iphone to take photos the issue has resolved.  I also noticed that they named all the photos the date taken.  I never set my digital camera with dates and times ever.  I still have no clue how to organize them and suggest you use Google Photos instead and before uploading, make sure each photo has a date taken in the details.  This is very cumbersome, but easier than all the techy solutions.

Thank you  I am backdating my computer and copying photos to flashdrive to get real date before sending to google drive 

Thanks for responding
