I actually went to try and revert a file in Google Drive this morning and was shocked to find it didn't have this option after using Dropbox for years.

- RogerL 11y agoYou can do it explicitly, file by file, in Google Drive but Dropbox is vastly superior in doing it automatically for all files.
- mkobit 11y agoI think you can do this, at least on some of the Drive services. For Sheets, go to File -> See Revision History and you should be able to view changes/revert to a previous revision.
- Robadob 11y agoThis was a .tex document that I had been editing in a text editor, not a Google doc. I tried context menus on the file in both Windows and the Google drive website to no avail, could spot any other relevant buttons in the rest of the Google drive websites interface either. ---------- Just tried it again now, and found the option on the website as 'manage versions' under the context menu of a file (no idea how I missed it the first time). Still had to download the old version and replace the file manually rather than an explicit revert button.
- thomasahle 11y agoAh, I thought you needed to by that Packrat thing. I guess that's only if you want unlimited history.
- Robadob 11y agoAppears G Drive does store previous versions, I was just blind yesterday. Parent post is too old to edit/delete.
