Rename files without losing any versions

[Andry1]

Hello. I'm trying to rename the files as follows (.Net):
using (var dbx = new DropboxClient(user.DropboxAccessToken))
{
await dbx.Files.MoveAsync(string.Format("/{0}/{1}", pathWithoutName, oldName), string.Format("/{0}/{1}", pathWithoutName, newName), true, true);
}
As a result, I lose the version of the file.
Can I rename the files without losing any versions?
Thank you!

Unfortunately, there isn't currently a good solution here. After you move/rename a file, listing the revisions at the new path won't show the old revisions.

As a workaround though, you can call to list the revisions at the previous path, and they will still be there.

Thanks for the answer.
If the file is renamed, say, three times. I want to see all revisions. To this end, I have to send requests to the three paths to unite them and display them. Do I understand correctly?

That's correct.

The API now offers the ability to list file revisions across moves/renames, by using the file ID. In the .NET SDK, that's available via the ListRevisions method. You can find more information in the documentation:
