Compatibility With Confluence

Plugin Version Confluence 2.4.5 Confluence 2.5.8 Confluence 2.6.0 Tested
1.2

Overview

Use Confluence like a network drive with drag and drop file operations.Spaces, pages, and news become folders, while page content and attachments become files.

  • Edit page/news content as a text file
  • Download, upload, move, delete attachments
  • Bulk move pages and page hierarchies
  • Maintains user permissions
  • Create shortcuts to Confluence attachments

Server Setup

  1. Setup regular backups to ensure that your content can be restored in the event of a problem
  2. Install this plugin using the Confluence Repository Client or Plugin Manager
  3. Refer to the instructions on WebDAV Configuration.

Client Setup

Download a WebDAV client and setup a new connection:

Instructions by OS or client:

  • Data Freeway
  • Mac OS X
    • In the Finder, hit cmd-K, which will bring up the connect dialog. Then enter http://localhost:8080/plugins/servlet/webdav/
    • We recommend to disable .DS_Store file creation using the DSDontWriteNetworkStores as described here. The WebDAV plugin is smart enough to discard these temporary files, so they won't clutter up your Confluence installation even if you don't set this preference. However it would be more efficient not to create them at all.

Known Issues

  • Check the WebDAV issue tracker for feature requests, problems and bugs
  • CONF-7347 On Mac OS X, editing a file in WebDAV will create a temporary file, usually called ._filename.ext, which unfortunately shows up on the attachments page. The only option at this point is to ignore it
