Basically the title. Upon updating to Mojave 10.14.5, I discovered the date modified of my foiders in iCloud Drive was changed to 1 Jan 1970 at 08:00.
The individual files have retained their original last modified date.
All folders/files on my local disk were unaffected.

I saw that there were ongoing discussion on Apple support forum, but no solution was proposed at the moment.

Are there any ways to have the original date modified show up? Thanks!
 
Unsure why that happened: my Mojave iCloud folders look good.

What you can try, look in the folder for the most recent updated file. Take the timestamp you see on that file (either via Finder listing or "ls -l" command in Terminal), and then in Terminal:

Code:
touch -t YYYYMMDDHHMM foldernamehere

HH is 00-23. Will need to be in the parent folder for this to work, otherwise, will create a new item with that folder's name.

Unsure what might happen, as that might trigger re-uploading of things to iCloud. And unsure if will stick, as there might be something else going on behind the scenes causing this.
