Use case or problem
File recovery is cumbersome to use effectively, especially on mobile. I want to suggest some improvements to the workflow here.
Currently, to recover an older version of a file, you have to go Settings > File Recovery > (type part of the file name), find the version you want, click copy to clipboard, go back to the file, select all to delete all, then paste.
Proposed solution
-
beside “copy to clipboard”, have “restore” which would automatically replace existing contents with the full contents of the stored copy
-
in the hamburger menu for an existing file, add “Restore …” which takes you straight to the file history dialog for that file.
