# Does My Drive keep file history when I use my own storage?

Only if **you** have versioning switched on at your storage provider. Turning it on changes what they bill you, so it isn't ours to decide.

The **Versions** screen reads that setting and tells you which it found. If it's off, replacing a file in My Drive replaces it; turn versioning on with your provider if you want old copies kept.
