Hi Everyone,
I have recently hit an issue where I use Google FileStream for backing up all my computers documents to Google Drive and had an issue where one of my devices didn't sync the recent copy of a Microsoft Excel Spreadsheet and I had to restart FileStream to resolve.
After restarting FileStream because a member of staff already updated the document the data that was originally inputted the day before had disappeared due to the member of staff's document being newer than the existing document.
I visited the Google Drive Web UI to try restore to previous version but found out this is not possible. The File Versioning of documents is only maintained when documents are worked on using Google Sheets, Google Docs services not MS Office Suite on a computer.
I hope Google could implement this function as I suspect many business and domestic users are use to the MS Office Suite over trying to use Google Sheets & Google Docs via a web browser.
If we suggest this enough to Google they may implement it in future updates. So you can maintain File Versioning of your documents via Google Drive and be able to restore to previous versions.
