Hi !
Thank you for your answer. I've just checked and no, it happens in different folders. Seems like it happens to older files (more than a month old maybe), recent ones doesn't have this problem.

2 months agoHi there, FranciscoLagos.
Are you on a Basic, Plus, or Family plan? These plans can only recover versions of a file made within the last 30 days, so if the versions you want are older than that, then you wouldn't be able to recover them.
