"Copy To" reseted the modified & created dates for the files while will preseve them for the folders
- A copy is a new file. So not using that. You can use move to or sync the library and try moving files to sync location and it might keep the file dates but usually that happens when you copy.
john john Have You tried with the SharePoint Migration Tool? If You sync the files from Your OneDrive to your computer you can use SharePoint Migration Tool and choose to migrate from "File Share", then you have the option to point at Your syncronized folders and copy them to the SharePoint site. I am not sure of if it will preserve the dates but it is definetly worth a try.

MagnusGoksoyrOLDProfile I already tried this approach, where i sync the onedrvie files using my onedrive desktop app >> then i used sharepoint migration tool to migrate from file share to sharepoint ... where the migrated files did not preserve their permission , so i did not investigate on this appraoch any more.. i think i will go with using the "Move-To" >> so i can preserve the modified/created dates >> then will reapply the permission manually on the moved files...
