When I access BOX from my browser and modify a file, the new version appears next to the file name.
If I open a BOX folder on my desktop and modify a file, does the version of the same file in my browser change in conjunction with it?

    Hi Shiori, 

    Welcome to the Box Community, I'm happy to help!

    Whenever you edit a file in Box Drive and save your changes, it would create a new version of the same file.

    Box overwrites a file and and updates the version each time you:

    • edit the file using an online editor, such as Box Edit, Microsoft Office Online, or the Google editing suite)
    • edit the file within your Box Sync or Box Drive folder
    • use the Upload New Version button on the Web app
    • upload a file into a folder that has an existing file with the exact same name in it on the Box Web app.

    Take a look at this article to learn more on how Version history works and how it is created: https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/360043697054-Accessing-Version-History
