Google Drive Revision Retention

[Joshua LaBorde]

Hi,

Can anyone tell me, or point me to where I can find information on, how long Google Drive will retain revision information?

Thanks,

Josh

Someone else in the group may have some good pointers as well.

Thanks Scott.  Looks like 30 days or 100 revisions unless chosen to not be automatically deleted.  However, I don’t seem to have options to manage versions.  Anyone know if this is something we don’t have at IIT or am I just overlooking it somewhere?

Hi Josh,

We're looking into it for you.  I think the links I sent you apply to documents uploaded in another format (i.e. doc, xls, etc).

We'll track down the limits for documents in Google format.  I saw the same as you, a doc in one of Google's formats does not have those options available.
