Restore a kDrive file to a previous version
This guide explains how to use the history or versioning of files on kDrive.
Preamble
- This feature is very useful for retrieving deleted information that you might need later.
- Infomaniak keeps a backup of all changes made to files in the version history on kDrive:
- With a Free offer, file versions are kept for 30 days (maximum 30 versions)
- With higher offers you will find up to 200 file versions over 60 days (or 120 days for the Pro offer and 180 or 365 days with kDrive within kSuite)
- You can choose to keep certain versions indefinitely.
Managing previous file versions
To access kDrive:
- Click here to access the Web app kDrive Infomaniak (online service kdrive.infomaniak.com).
- Navigate through the kDrive directory tree that appears in the left-hand side menu.
- Right-click on the desired file.
- Click on Version History:
The different versions of the file are listed in reverse chronological order.
You can delete all versions of this file using the button.
Otherwise, a menu to the right of each version allows you to:
- … create a new file on kDrive from this version,
- … download the file as it was at the date/time of the selected version,
- … keep it indefinitely: the version will be kept after the standard retention period,
- … delete the version: allows you to erase only this version.
You can also access all versions of all your files…
- … from the left menu Manage storage space
- … open the drop-down menu to select File Versions:
