I have update my NAS and copied 30.0000 photos.
Unfortunately it now shows the current date.
I tried to change it using Exiftool
Yet is returns:

======== 01 APR 2013-02.jpg_original

I tried:
**:~/Drive/Moments/Test$ exiftool '-modifydate<datetimeoriginal' *.*
    2 image files updated
But nothing changes
I'm using a Mac. I want FileModifyDate set to datetimeoriginal

Can I change it

What kind of NAS?

There have been problems in the past with Synology NAS where a background program was preventing changes to the file system timestamps.  See this thread.  Possible sources are the "Drive" and "Moments" apps.
* Did you read FAQ #3 and use the command listed there?
* Please use the Code button for exiftool code/output.
 
* Please include your OS, Exiftool version, and type of file you're processing (MP4, JPG, etc).

Not the same thing.

Ah, good catch.  I jumped to conclusions when I read NAS.

@StarGeek,
Thank you, it was Drive causing the trouble.
After I stopped Drive from running it worked out fine.
