Manage File Versioning

You can allow a user to uploaded changes to a file and create another version of a file. This is called file versioning.

File versioning can be used with the following storage types:

How do I know if there are previous versions of a user file?

Open the user's details and click Manage Files.
In the Manage files screen, navigate to a file and click its Versions icon
.
The Previous Versions window opens and lists all versions of the file.

If file versioning is causing issues, you can turn it off.

File versioning can cause loss of data when a user accidentally overwrites a file with the same name.
Users may be storing too many unnecessary versions of a file and are taking up too much space.

When you configure file versioning, use the following values:

Option	Setting	Result
Number of old versions to keep for each file	-1	The user tries to upload another version but the upload will FAIL
Number of old versions to keep for each file	any number greater than 0	When the user uploads a new version of a file, it is saved, and the latest <Number of old versions to keep for each file> versions are kept.

To manage file versioning:

In the FileCloud admin portal's left navigation bar, scroll down and click Settings. Then, on the Settings navigation page, click Storage
.
The Managed Storage settings page opens by default.
In Number of old versions to keep for each file type in -1 to turn versioning off or any number greater than 0 to use versioning.
To save your changes, click Save.
