MicrosoftVersioning update to Document Libraries in team sites in SharePoint Online and OneDrive for Business
Hi Jonathan,
Is it not changed that it only increments with the changes and not the full size anymore?
Else i completely agree with your statement. But i thought this changed.
Technically you are correct (and I should probably amend my posting to reflect the following) - Shredding and differentials were introduced in SP2013. It is enabled in the database. SPO shows and provides full details as though item in the versioning and history is complete item - hence storage reporting in version history and on site-dashboard reflects equiv. of full copies retained.
Unfortunately your storage quota reflects this usage too *not* actual data-storage (I did some checking on last year to be sure of what is saved vs what is shown). What is happening is a disconnect in representation *and* behaviour of the apps dealing withe the documents :(
..I'd already written a large entry - I didnt want to muddy waters with long detailed waffle on actual vs registered on reporting.
- It is my understanding as well that there is a disconnect between storage reporting and storage usage. What I haven't seen answered is whether you pay based on the reported storage use or the actual storage use.
Anyone with the answer?
