Doc version management
-
Hi All, For one of the projects, we need to have the functionality to manage different versions of the documents. I am just wondering if there is an application with which we can integrate instead of re-inventing the wheel. Git like system would be ideal. Thanks

Have you considered Git? Adding a server isn't difficult: set up a git server - Google Search[^] or just create a GitHub / BitBucket / other repository and use that.

It's certainly "git-like" which ticks the only box in his requirements. :)

Can git be integrated easily and will it work with all the file formats? For instance, the user will log in to our system, upload document, and then we can integrate with git to manage and keep track of all the versions of the document uploaded. User can anytime retrieve the old versions. This is a typical scenario we would like to achieve. How is Git performance-wise if the file uploaded is relatively big 500MB+? Thank you.

Apparently so: Operate Git with .NET Core - Edi Wang[^] (works with Framework and Core, but I haven't tried it myself)

Git is primarily text based, but it can track binary formats as well - just not with the fine resolution it uses for text changes. I'd suspect most "git-like" systems do much the same, as it'd be a PITA to track inserts and deletes in binary files (it's bad enough with text files!)

No idea - I've never tried! They do mention a size limit, but I don't know what it is: Working with large files - GitHub Docs[^]. TBH, unless you are hosting your own service, I'd suspect there will be a file size limit with any system - storage is cheap these days, but that doesn't mean they will just give it away!

Amazon WorkDocs. It has a simple to use API.
