File Version Recovery – How does it works?

You want to back up a file in the cloud. But you overlook another file version. This is overwritten and seems to be lost. With TeamDrive and file version recovery, that’s a thing of the past.

Delete and restore files

The project is just finished, the other members have already been removed from the space and now you are sorting and deleting the existing files. A quick glance into the Word document and you decide to delete it. Just at this moment one of your superiors enters the room and asks for one of the summaries of your project. This is exactly the Word document you just deleted. You stare at him in disbelief. The document seems to be lost and you are already considering how to gently teach it to your boss.

Restore file versions

After a moment of reflection, start searching for the lost file. Fortunately, you can find the document you just removed in the trash of your space. With your extensive administrator rights, you can easily restore it and immediately send it to your supervisor. For your next project you decide to grant at least superuser rights to other employees you trust. They also allow you to easily restore files from the Recycle Bin. However, you should always make sure that these rights are only granted to selected and conscientious persons. Although you can restrict the assignment of rights at any time and correct any errors quickly, this can cost valuable time and unnecessarily delay your project.

Overwrite file version

Documents do not always have to be deleted to disappear. A simple overwrite can have serious consequences. The end of the working day is approaching and the weekend is just around the corner. The customer presentation for next Tuesday is ready and all you have to do is quickly save it in the cloud. A few clicks later everything is done. But wait, didn’t the colleague also upload a version into the cloud that she wanted to compare with her colleague next Monday in the run-up to the business appointment? You’ll soon realize that you accidentally overwrote your colleague’s version. What now?
