I need a file sharing capability between at least three separate computers. The number of files is quite small, as is their size.
I am not clear whether I can use the same TeamDrive account on all the computers but then how would I deduce where each version of a file came from.
Alternatively should I create separate accounts for each computer (one account and machine is an obvious master) and "invite" each computer to join.
Can you give me some advice?
I am using a cloud service at present which does almost everything I need (it works, it encrypts files at source, it keeps multiple versions, etc).
The only issue I have with my current service is that the versioning creates a problem with managing out of date versions. I have to log onto each computer to manually delete all the old versions as the application keeps a separate version record for each computer. I cannot do this managment from a central point. There is no way to set a maximum age or maximum number of versions.
In more detail I am using KeePass password manager. I use this to syncronise certain items of data between a machine at work and a prmary machine at home. The file gets updated often, perhaps 3 or 4 times per day. All the changes are replicated to my two main machines as versions specific to each mashine. I have to delete these versions manually. There is a third machine at home which I use occasionally but the data is also replicated to that machine and the cloud servcie remembers all the intermediate versions. I only log onto thatthird machine with my normal account about every 3 or 4 months which would mean there could be hundreds of obsolete versions to delete manually.
I THINK TeamViewer has a more centralised view of versions (from my testing so far) and would allow me to to delete all old versions from one place/account irrespective of which machine uploaded the new copy. Am I right? Even better would be a rule allowing me to delete these files older than say a week. Note I would then regard backup and mutiple versions of the shared file as a separate issue.
I have tried to get these answers from the TeamDrive manual, and it may already have been answered in your forum, but I am unable to read German. This also delayed my testing of your service as the documentation in English (for version 3) was non existent for a while.
