Can viewers on shared folders see the history from before it was shared?

If i share a folder, will a 'viewer only' see the revisions i make after i shared a folder?

Dear jay,

 

yes, this helped clarify!! My last question.

 

if everyone who shared my folder is either in 'can edit' mode or  'can view' mode, their folders will still be updated? Once you respond, i can accept the resolution!!!

Shared folders will always sync changes from the site to everyone's accounts, regardless if the person is in edit or view only mode, similar to how Dropbox syncs files from one machine to another.
