No File Versioning
------------------
Description
-----------
This is the default setting. With no file versioning, files that are replaced or
deleted on one device are deleted on other devices that the directory is shared
with. (Note: If a folder is marked "Master Folder" on a device, that device will
not accept changes to the files in the folder, and therefore will not have files
replaced or deleted.)
Syncthing supports archiving the old version of a file when it is deleted or
replaced with a newer version from the cluster. This is called "file
versioning" and uses one of the available *versioning strategies* described
below. File versioning is configured per folder and defaults to "no file
versioning", i.e. no old copies of files are kept.
