FileDate Sync

Sync the "Last modified" metadata of multiple files on your phone with the original one on other devices.

For example, let's suppose you've copied lots of file from your computer to your phone. You surely have the original "Last modified" field on your computer, but on your phone you might have the time the files have been copied. With this app, you can edit that field by taking the "Last modified" metadata of the files from your computer.

Generate a file

To do so, you'll need to generate a file that contains the file directory and the last modified date. Don't worry, this can be done automatically.

The easiest method is to click here, choose the files or the folder that contains the files you need to copy the "Last modified" date of, and copy the file to your phone.

You can also find on the CreateFile folder both a simple webpage and a Node.JS script to create this file. Otherwise, you can create the file directly from the application in the "Generate" section.

Apply edits

To apply edits, open FileDate Sync. First, choose the folder by writing its path (or by opening the folder picker by clicking the button at the right); and later choose the file generated before.

Note: due to Android's restrictions, starting from Android 10 you'll need to grant full system storage access.

Below you can find a screenshot of the UI of the "Apply" section. The UI is really similar also in all other sections.
