Hello, I will mention the problem to solve, then I will explain how my idea could solve it. Please vote for it if you need it as well, thanks.

1) The problem to be solved

The precise Creation Date of a file is a key information for many users.

It is not easy to find, and not available for every plans…

Currently, the only way to find it is through the “History version”:

• The mental model of the user has to be “Thinking: Past version” instead of “Thinking: Metadata of the file”, which is an incoherent mental model for many users. Because, if the creation date is indeed a past version, it is actually the pillar version, not just a past version.


• This model is incoherent with many users’ habits as well, because a lot of softwares and OS include the Creation Date in basic metadata, often under the same Properties menu than “Author”, “Modified Date”, “Extension”, etc.


• A Paid Plan is often needed to scroll through many revisions. Though, this basic metadata should be available for every plans.

2) The solution to this problem

The Creation Date of a file should be easily available, for every plans :

• either inside the file, under a dedicated section (I often expect to see it under "Menu > File > Properties").


• either on the thumbnail, especially if the Date created filter is on!!

Thank you for reading.

If you need this solution to be implemented as well, please vote for it.
