What is the problem you are having with rclone?
Rclone does not preserve directory dates on upload to Google Drive.
Run the command 'rclone version' and share the full output of the command.

I noticed that rclone does not preserve directory dates. I tried this first on Windows, on wsl, and on Linux. I tried with and without the --metadata
data flag, but it made no difference.
If I upload a directory to Google Drive without rclone, the modified date is preserved. All sub directories have their date preserved as well.
If I upload a directory to Google Drive with rclone, the modified date is changed to the upload time. All sub directories have their date changed to the upload time.
Is this intentional? For archival purposes, having directory dates preserved is very important to me.
Thanks.
