Box Drive Conflict Handling: Save Edits to Conflict Copies Instead of Overwriting
Request to change the behavior when conflict happens on Box Drive. Since Box Edit is currently uploading to a conflict copy after conflict occur. This will likely make you a bit confusion.
Current behavior:
- User A opens and edits file X without lock via Box Drive.
- User B opens and edits file X without lock via Box Drive.
- User B saves the file X via Box Drive. Upload the changes as version 2 to file X
- User A saves the file X via Box Drive. Conflict happened. Create a conflict copy like file X (email address).
- User A saves file X again while keeping it open. Upload the changes as version 3 to file X
Behavior we want:
- User A opens and edits file X without lock via Box Drive.
- User B opens and edits file X without lock via Box Drive.
- User B saves the file X via Box Drive. Upload the changes as version 2 to file X
- User A saves the file X via Box Drive. Conflict happened. Create a conflict copy like file X (email address).
- User A saves file X again while keeping it open. Upload the changes as version 2 to the conflict copy 'file X (email address).
