Add the “Versions” plugin to /e/ drive

Summary

Please add the “Versions” plugin to the /e/ drive Nextcloud to prevent users loosing data.

Posted here as suggested by @manojnair https://community.e.foundation/t/adding-new-apps-at-ecloud-global/12404/109

Description

All users will benefit from this feature. They will be able to find previous versions of their files on the /e/ drive Files. There might be a synchronization issue overwriting their work if they use multiple devices. Or they might want to find a part of text that they had in a previous version of a document. In the same fashion that deleted files can be found in the drive, previous versions of the same file should be available for some time.

Examples

I lost some data because of a bad synchronization conflict resolution decision. If versioning was there, I could just restore the previous version of the file.

## Reflection

https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/18/user_manual/files/version_control.html image

Validation

Overwrite a file. Be able to find the previous version.
