The team behind MOOS Project Viewer just released version 2.9. This version comes with a new feature: integration with Dropbox. Users can now also open Microsoft Project files that are stored on a Dropbox account and not just local files from their computers.
The biggest advantage of using a cloud storage service is that the files can be accessed at any moment in time and from any location. Further more the files can also be shared within the company, or even more can be shared with the project stakeholders.
When a project manager creates a project plan that needs to be distributed to the team managers or even to the entire team the best solution is to use a fast and easy to access system. In this case the generated project file gets stored within the company account on Dropbox and each member that needs to have access to that file can open it directly with MOOS Project Viewer. This is a cost effective solution if the team members only need to see the project details and do not need to make changes to it.
The integration process between MOOS Project Viewer and Dropbox is straightforward. The users need to activate the service just once and the application will never ask anything again.
The process is completely secure. No need to enter any login information within the application as everything it is done within the browser on Dropbox side.
MOOS Project Viewer is available athttp://www.moosprojectviewer.com/. The new version can be downloaded from http://www.moosprojectviewer.com/download.php.
