How to view older files / version in preview pane

Hello!

I am using the option of versions on my backups, and they should go into a folder called "Older". The problem is that I am using file name encryption and I am unable to see which files are in that folder (I suspect I have some I need to delete from a botched backup run).

Is there any way I can check the file names? Going to the folder itself manually not an option as the file names are encrypted. Thanks!!

Hello,
to see the versions, you need to start a restore so you get to the Sync Preview window with the list of files. You can right-click on each file to see the available versions.

Alternatively, when using the Restore Wizard, you can specify a Target Date for Restore, so Syncovery automatically pre-selects the versions from a specific date in the past.

Thanks Tobias for the quick reply ! Sadly I do not know the names of the files and since the names are encrypted I can't figure out which are which. Is there any other way I can obtain the actual decrypted file names under the "Older"/versioning folder?

Otherwise I'll have to just remove them to make space
