    Preview app Restore does not work with onedrive or dropbox

    Sort of an FYI but also a question in case there is a workaround. As the title suggests I "discovered" that the Preview app Restore does not work with onedrive or dropbox. If a file is modified in the Preview App and then downloaded from these services it loses the ability to recover previous...
