Hi!
Would it be possible to try this module out in a demonstration test site, or second best: to see some screen-shots?

Test site is now available at http://dbfmdemo.lineageone.com/ - give it a few hours for DNS to propagate.

Just for clarity...

If you upload a file that already exists...you get a warning. If you continue with the upload you will OVERWRITE the existing file, correct? There is no way to get back to the original file? So this is not a way to do version control on files, right?

I just want to make sure, because the description says that revision control is possible but, when I think of revision control, I think of being able to recall older revisions, etc. I think I am not using the terminology correctly.

Thanks for any response you can give.

NOPE - you're given the option of EITHER overwriting the file OR starting a 'version'. If you choose overwrite the original file will indeed be lost forever. If you choose to create a new version then a new version directory is created, the original file becomes the first revision, the new file you're uploading becomes the 2nd (and by default, the current) revision. You can continue to add later revisions. You can, at all times, access any revision. You can change which revision is considered the current one. You can set access rules for each revision.

Yup, that's what I think of as revision control too. That said, this is an inefficient way of doing it in terms of the space it takes up. Most revision control systems would store the changes between versions. This always stores the entire document
