Google Drive does not preserve file modified date / time

What I proposed was to preserve original file timestamps through plugging your storage media directly to your computer and allowing Google drive to mirror it. Any other way this is done using the Google drive sync client, it overwrite the original timestamps.

It's a bug.  I  tried locating my original post via the email and Google search. It will show in the search results, but brings you to a 404 upon clicking:
