How or will we be able to view visio in Confluence vis-a-vis Opboxdray?

Gesner Herard, Jr. January 27, 2013

Using Opboxdray to make latest file versions available in Confluence, but Visio is not supported. Can/will Opboxdray work with Bob Swifts Visio plug-in?

Visio is not part of the MS Office Suite, which Visio is not part of. We support editing with the editing with Word, PPT, etc..

What version of Visio?

It is an interesting feature request - how critical is this to you? We'd have to look into it..

We use MS Visio for 80% of our design drawings. It would be preferable for the team to collaborate with automatic updates from the source location, via Opboxdray, versus constantly having to update the confluence attachment with attachment to latest document--especially, as we are performing design updates on a daily basis.

So, from a design team collaboration process perspective, I would say this is pretty up there in criticality.

From a business perspective, it is not the highest criticality, but a major need to help reduce level of effort and errors associated with making sure latest updates are available.

Basically a major process improvement boost for our team.

Hi Gesner - Sorry we missed this before.

The dropbox plugin is very different than Bob Swifts plugin. Yes you can access Visio files in Dropbox, from Confluence, with our plugin.

To discuss more, don't hesitate to contact us at info@appfusions.com

But you can't view Visio file content via Opboxdray in confluence That was the real nature of the question. I only used Bob Swift's plugin as an example of the feature functionality I am hoping will be provided in the future.
