I have lost work due to an overwrite that saved an old version of a.docx file over a new one. I was working between a pc and an android tablet.
The android device had the latest version, and was online and connected to my box.com account while I was working. Apparently, however, it did not sync properly. When today I opened the file on my android device from box, after having shut down overnight, a version from 27 June opened (the last version worked on from a pc), overwriting the versions and changes done on the android device through 30 June.
These newer versions were only written on the android device, using word for android, never on the pc. Does anyone know a way to recover the newer versions from box or the android device? Hi, Looking for and restoring prior versions would be my first step too.
As far as the error you are seeing, a few questions to help the community to troubleshoot this further:. Do you see the error message when you try to preview the older version or download the version/set it as current (I'm assuming the latter)?. Are you an editor of the folder and have the necessary permissions?. If you are not the folder owner, can your folder owner change the file version? Hopefully the additional info will help the community to figure this out, or even point you to a possible solution. Of course, if this is urgent or if you think it requires account specific information/configuration to help solve it, you should to help you directly.
