What is your rclone version (output from rclone version)

v1.55.1

Which OS you are using and how many bits (eg Windows 7, 64 bit)

Ubuntu 21.04

Which cloud storage system are you using? (eg Google Drive)

GDrive

The command you were trying to run (eg rclone copy /tmp remote:tmp)

I mounted with this, I do see no-modtime, but that should impact mod time only not create time. I also tried direct creation of the files using touch.

You have this flag.

Yeah, but that is mod-time, should that effect create time? I mentioned that part.

That's the flag that's causing the issue. Test without it and you can validate.

Yeah it is that, just surprised based on the wording of the flag. I'll keep it off, I just had read it can help /w speed.

Check out:

https://rclone.org/drive/#drive-use-created-date

There's no reason to use either really as the "speed" won't be noticeable unless you can notice probably 1ms or even less.
