I think you are talking about the POSIX information of your files or the ACL’s if its winders data. If you’re not, then please ignore the rest of this. 
Honestly with most cloud providers you are working with some soft of an Object based storage not a file based storage. To boil it down, you don’t really have a file and a directory anymore, you just have “objects” that have enough metadata to reference themselves in a traditional tree. If you really need to preserve your file permissions, I recommend using something like Tar or Zip that will encapsulate all the Attributes of your files given filesystem and move that tarball or zip file into the cloud. There are windows tools like xcacls that may let you export this to some sort of a file in of itself, but you’d probably have to write your own script logic to reapply it if you had to bring it back.
