Description

**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**
Files (1.3) can not preserve the modified time for folders and files. When users use Android devices.

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

Date modified:

9/24/2016 1:28 AM

copy to Android 10/11 device

now it shows this timestamp in Files -> Android device

3/01/2021 3:17 AM

I don't want that. In Windows Explorer (Windows 10) it preserve the modified time when I do this task.

It preserve the modified time for files and folders for Android devices.

In this case

9/24/2016 1:28 AM

**Describe alternatives you've considered**
n/a

**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 Because Linux system is generally more outdated than Windows system.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.
