I also would like to know if you can do it, if not, I think it should be added feature.

FreeFileSync (FFS) preserves file dates whenever that is supported by the used protocol.
However, some protocols, like FTP and some flavours of SFTP (but not limited to these two),
do not support the preservation of file dates.
For folders (as opposed to files), FFS is (at least presently) not able to preserve folder dates in a Windows environment.

What format is your external drive? If it is exFat, there can be issues. NTFS is best for Windows-only environments.
