Using OneDrive, Dropbox, Google Drive, etc as file repository in Confluence

[Jeannine Hooper-Yan]

The new editor has killed our information management strategy.  Most of our information is maintained in Confluence pages.  But when we had a file (supplier RFQ, design spec, etc) - we used file list pages to organize the files by project and then linked to the file from any page that needed it.  This is how we maintained a single point of truth for our documentation.

In the new editor - the only way to link a file to a page is to upload the file to the page.  This completely eliminates our ability to maintain a single point of truth and make sure we reference the document everywhere needed.

I'm wondering if anyone has experience using other services (OneDrive, Dropbox, Google Drive, Sharepoint) for file storage and integrating with Confluence.  Any recommendations if any services work better than others?

If I can't solve this problem, I'm going to have to move to a new tool and just keep Confluence until the current information in there ages out.

Hello Jae,

In a first approach I would suggest you to download the default confluencedefaultpdf.css and then try to set again from this scratch your global pdf stylesheet by this procedure and using this default model:

https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Customising+Exports+to+PDF#CustomisingExportstoPDF-SettingaglobalPDFStylesheet

With this approach you'll be configuring a new global pdf stylesheet using a default model (confluencedefaultpdf.css) and if the url to this video is located here, so we will solve the problem with this kind of 'reset' to the default. Another suggestion would be also to review and double-check all the configuration applied in the customization applied in the export to pdf, you can follow these points to check:

Hope this helps.
