**Describe the solution you'd like**
An example I have 1 folder and 1 file with this timestamp on `Desktop`
Date modified:

copy to Android 10/11 device
now it shows this timestamp in Files -> Android device

**Additional context**
Here are general information.
Dear Files developers I know myself that Android system supports only Modified time.
There was never a support Created time. Because Linux system is generally more outdated than Windows system. I don't like Android devices, but they are the only mobile devices so far where the user has a little possibility to manage his created files/folders.
