Prompt to Install Google Gears
Initial UseWhen adding an attachment to a page or blog post in your Confluence site for the first time in a given browser, you will be prompted to allow Google Gears to trust your Confluence site as shown in the following screenshot. If this warning message appears, select the 'I trust this site. Allow it to use Gears' check box and click the 'Allow' button. Screenshot: Google Gears Security Prompt
Disabling Drag-and-DropYour Confluence system administrator may wish to disable the drag-and-drop for a variety of reasons, one of which might be to disable the prompt to install Google Gears on their Confluence user's browsers and operating systems. If you are a Confluence system administrator and wish to disable the drag-and-drop feature, you will need to access the Plugin Manager in your Confluence installation's 'Administration' section and disable the entire 'Confluence Drag and Drop Plugin'. Refer to Installing and Configuring Plugins Manually for details on accessing the Plugin Manager and disabling entire plugins or plugin modules. Confluence system administrators can also disable the 'drop zone' that appears on the 'Attachments' view by disabling the 'View Attachments Drop Zone' module of this plugin. This removes the drop zone on the 'Attachments' view whilst retaining the drag-and-drop functionality. RELATED TOPICSAttaching Files to a Page |
