What Is File Versioning?
File versioning automatically saves previous versions of your files each time they're modified, allowing you to view, compare, or restore any earlier version. Version history duration varies by provider — from 30 days to unlimited depending on the plan.
Also known as: version history, file history, revision history
Why Does File Versioning Matter?
File versioning protects against accidental edits, deletions, and ransomware. If a file is corrupted or incorrectly modified, you can restore a clean previous version. When comparing cloud storage providers, check how long version history is retained.
