zkarj Posted March 5, 2015 Report Share Posted March 5, 2015 Just found out about this with all the hoopla around 2.0 and it looks interesting. My question may well have been answered earlier but it's one that's practically impossible to search for. How does it interact with OS X's built in Versions? I.e. when I work with my Pages documents and multiple versions are saved that I can later revert to – if the folder the Pages document is contained in is Synced to another Mac, does the other Mac see the Versions? Does it affect the Versions on the local Mac in any way? Note this is nothing to do with Sync's own versioning capability, I mean the Apple-provided OS feature: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202255 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trevellyan Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 OS X's previous versions are not synced, but when you change a file on one peer the other peers store the previous version (on all platforms).

RomanZ Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 Yep. Looks like Versions store older copies somewhere else, not inside the file itself. Also, Apple states the similar information: When you share a document–for example through email, iChat, or AirDrop–only the current version is sent; all other versions remain on your Mac.
