    Hi Shunket05, thanks for messaging the Community!

     

    Extended version history is used when you need to recover older files that were edited or deleted. 

     

    It doesn't mean that any files on your account would be automatically deleted after a year.

     

    Hope this helps!

Hi @Tizzy, this is referring to editing files that are already on your Dropbox account. 

 

If you edit files before uploading them to Dropbox, then there would be no record of that edit on Dropbox, since you uploaded the edited version.
