Microsoft OneDrive file versioning- Setting
Background
This article was written on 15-Nov-2023.
I am using MS 365 Business Standard license.
Please understand that as of the time of writing, we are unable to disable file versioning.
We can only set minimum file versioning to 100.
Yes, this is unacceptable :)
Precautions
Microsoft changes its MS365 GUI every now and then, so the exact location of the objects might change overtime
Prerequisites
MS 365 Business license
Check OneDrive versioning setting
I am assuming that you are already on OneDrive page.
When I wrote this article, OneDrive setting is available on top right portion.
Then go to “old settings page”
Click on “Site Libraries and Lists”
And go to Documents Library
By default, MS 365 wants you to keep 500 versions of each file.
You cannot disable versioning, minimum is 100 versions per file.
I wish you good luck with your OneDrive. Feel free to read my other article on how to manage this unnecessary file versions which eats up our storage quota.
