Sep 27, 2016 7:24 AM in response to guyver510by zinacef,What is "versioning"? Are you referring to iCloud drive version history?
-
Sep 27, 2016 8:52 AM in response to zinacefby guyver510,Versioning is a feature that saves previous versions of a file as you save it over time. Everytime you save the file, a backup copy of that file is saved so you can go back in time. I know with apps like MS Office you can tell it to save a backup copy of a file, but with Dropbox you can have 5 or even 10 prior versions of the file. It's something that's definitely saved me in the past.

Sep 27, 2016 9:00 AM in response to Csound1by guyver510,I don't really consider Dropbox a backup either, but it's a really handy feature. I use Crashplan for backups. I do like the idea of getting rid of a redundant app though.
