Monterey and Catalina Finder shows no exif

I have a lot of photos and videos backup on to WD Cloud.


Viewing contents in Finder, shows only Data Modified timestamp which is the upload/backup time.

I have to use Preview > Inspector, or import into Photos to see exif/meta info one by one.

It is very inconvenient.


I saw discussion on internet mentioning, Mojave had "see more" option in Finder. Can't find any for Monterey/Catalina. Ideally I wish Finder show file timestamp by it's actual creation timestamp. I've seen people making a script to do so. Obviously that's not a optimum solution fo average user.


Please comment,


Thanks,

Thanks for reply, I don't seem to have this option (Monterey)


(A NAS Folder) Finder > Show View/Preview Options do not seem to have Date Time Digitized options (this is the real timestamp I am looking for to use).


Importing into Photos, Photos sorts the image by it's "Date Time Digitized". The way tools are designed seems to enfoce a workflow of importing these into Photos as a must.
