What changed on the new Team Files app - Confluence Cloud

Open

Retiring the “Personal files” area
Now, when you open the app in the sidebar or the macro modal, you no longer get your “Personal files” to select one to share. 

Open

Built for collaboration
The first person using the app needs to connect one folder to the Confluence Space to enable sharing and collaboration with all the team. Everyone that comes after can use the same folder or add more if they want.

Better edit experience
The ikuTeam web app is no longer required to edit Microsoft Office documents. One more step for privacy and security, we listened to your requests. Now, all edits work directly from Confluence.

No registration required
To improve the app's adoption in your team, new users don’t have to create accounts in the app to start collaborating. No app user accounts, better privacy, and security.

Enhanced macro with preview panel
Attach several files or folders at once. You’re no longer limited to one item per macro. Advanced layout options are coming soon. Share and collaborate better and faster.

Improved performance
The app was rebuilt from the ground up, using new and modern technologies. We made several improvements to make the app up to 500% faster in some operations and more reliable. 

Permissions (coming soon)
Decide who can see and edit what you attach to your Space and Pages. This major feature is coming soon to provide you control of your files and content.
