OneDrive for Business and SharePoint document library versioning

Hi, everybody.

Noticed that when accessing OneDrive for Business va Office 365 web page, the document library allows enabling versions, which is something most often used in team site document libraries.

Now as for the OneDrive for Business application that's installed on the PC, I think it just shows and syncs the latest versions of the files, but using the browser one can effectively see previous versions and eventually go back to any of them.

This provides a scenario pretty similar to Windows 8 File History backup.

As 1 TB is quite a lot, it makes sense to enable versioning and allow user to recover previous file versions, while the syncing application only copies the latest version.

I just wanted to know if it's supported to turn on versioning for the OneDrive for Business individual user document library.

Thanks

Hi,

In the current version of OneDrive for Business application, there is no such feature to retain the old versions.

I understand it may cause frustration, but we welcome and value your thoughts. By sharing them with us, you enable us to evaluate them and possibly address them in future versions.
