Version control

Posted on 2022-03-01

MoxiDrive supports simple version control system for files. Versioning creates backups of files which are accessible via the Versions tab on the Details sidebar. This tab contains the history of the file where you can roll back a file to any previous version.

To restore a specific version of a file, click the circular arrow to the left. Click on the timestamp to download it.

The versioning app expires old versions automatically to make sure that the user doesn’t run out of space. This pattern is used to delete old versions:

For the first second we keep one version

For the first 10 seconds MoxiDrive keeps one version every 2 seconds

For the first minute MoxiDrive keeps one version every 10 seconds

For the first hour MoxiDrive keeps one version every minute

For the first 24 hours MoxiDrive keeps one version every hour

For the first 30 days MoxiDrive keeps one version every day

After the first 30 days MoxiDrive keeps one version every week

The versions are adjusted along this pattern every time a new version gets created.

The version app never uses more that 50% of the user’s currently available free space. If the stored versions exceed this limit, MoxiDrive deletes the oldest versions until it meets the disk space limit again.
