I have tried to upload files without losing the original creation date on this main account(which I have a 2TB subscription on), and on a new non-subscription account that I created on a device I’ve never used this account on (to see if it was only this account). Neither will preserve the original creation dates. I have my…

Two-Way Sync Option for "Camera Uploads" Folder
Please release a "Two-Way Sync" toggle option for the "Camera Uploads" folder. This "Camera Uploads" folder would actually be a valuable feature if this option were enabled. Currently, the folder is a one-way sync, which simply creates more work for us users - if we use the feature as is, we have to clean out photos twice…

September 2023 iPad app update removed ability to hide the preview pane

That's ridiculous. Seeing thirty of the same file name, and having to click on each one to find the one you're looking for…
