Is the Atlassian Companion app needed for Cloud, and if so, will the version used for server work?

Assume an organizatin is migrating from Server to the Cloud.  Currently they are using the companion app to edit documents and upload them back automatically in Server.

Is this still necessary, and if so, can they continue using the app as it is, or will they need to update the app in some way?

Hi Rob,

There is no alternative to the Companion App in Confluence Cloud, but it is an optional feature. Users can replace files by dragging and dropping into the page editor, the attachments page or attachments macro. 

The app itself is compatible with both Server/DC and Cloud, no need to upgrade other than to ensure you are on the latest version.
