Skydrive ALERT - Changes the date modified :pissed

1000s of my word and excel files now have the date modified changed. I cant believe MS haven't taken care of this. I totally rely on Date Modified for sorting my files. Issue is all over their forums and the web. They say its a bug and at some point they'll restore it. If the date modified of video files have changed, its lost forever is what they say. MS just says they are aware of the issue and have no date on when it will be fixed. :thumbsdown::thumbsdown::thumbsdown:

Moving from Dropbox was the biggest mistake I did. I never had any such problems with Dropbox.
 
That issue's trivial compared to the one where they poke through your files, and ban your account if they find something they don't like. I wouldn't use any "cloud" service for data I cared about without encrypting first, and keeping a local copy.
 
Lol, drop box actually corrupted over 2gigs of my files. Fought with them for a month before they fixed it... never ever, ever going back. Sky drive for me forever... sorry to here about that problem though. Contact support?
 
Where do I find Skydrive's support team's email contact info? I cant find it. All I can find is their help page and forum. Asked in the forum and no response yet.

Thanks guys for your suggestions

And, if you use something like a TrueCrypt container, they won't be able to change the modified dates of the files within.

i thought this was a given when using cloud services.

Just elaborating that lxskllr's solution of using encryption would solve the OP's issue of modified file dates, having the data protection is a nice benefit.

I personally don't use encryption with my cloud services, but I don't use them to host any sensitive data either.
 
Ok I dont know what they did but the dates and time are fixed now. Thanks all 🙂. I've always been wanting to use truecrpyt but was lazy.
