The rclone /docs/ says
Modified time and hashes
Box allows modification times to be set on objects accurate to 1 second. These will be used to detect whether objects need syncing or not.
Box supports SHA1 type hashes, so you can use the --checksum
flag.
And all my files have the correct date's from the file's original metadata, but all my folders have today's date. I assume that's a limitation of the remote box.com yes? Or is there a workaround someone knows that I do not know, which would preserve the original folder dates?
I'm only asking because it's mildly vague to me when reading the /docs/ page. But, well, I find almost everything on the rclone docs vague because my computer science understanding only processes about 25% of the words on the screen
No metadata for folders possible today:

#### The associated forum post URL from `https://forum.rclone.org`
#### What is the problem you are having with rclone?
I did `sudo rclone copy --metadata <src> <dest>` as root user
To validate the dest content, I did the restore using same rclone cmdline interchanging src and dest as root user.
While the files get the right attributes (permission level, owner, group), the folder has got root:root and restore date.
