Hello!


I used to be able to upload two files of the same name, and both files would be accessible. Now, it automatically replaces the file, making it a v2, and the original file is inaccessible. Is there a way to make both versions accessible simultaneously?


See screenshot below…former version grayed out and only accessible via download, not viewable on Box.

Hi Erin, 


Welcome to Box Community and glad to assist!


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.

Thanks for posting!
