Overview

Creating a new object by drag and dropping file to a vault through remote connection (e.g. RDP) might result in error that mentions that the file was created in "1601-01-01 00:00:00.000000000". This means that the created date of the file is missing from the files data and Windows is filling it with that default date so it won't be empty.
M-Files doesn't accept files created before the year 1753 so this will result in error.
The error details look like this:

Solution

Copy the file to desktop before drag and dropping it to M-Files. That way the date data corruption won't happen.
