Rakuten Drive offers a robust File Versioning feature, enabling users to maintain a complete history of changes made to their files. This functionality empowers you to easily revert to previous versions if needed, ensuring peace of mind and data integrity.
File Versioning is currently available for Rakuten Drive Paid plan subscribers. Free users cannot access this feature, even when receiving files with version history from paid users. Additionally, File Versioning is presently limited to the web accessible at 「rakuten-drive.com」. File Versioning feature within the Rakuten Drive mobile apps for iOS and Android is not available.
