Nice work!  And I see that's your 10,000th post in the forum Jim.  Worked out well

 

Did I read on another thread there will be no more Teaser Tuesday's?

 

Can I add to the wish list, integration with Egnyte for VWX Cloud Services?

I'm pushing to have a teaser for each tuesday until release. No guarantees yet but it's looking good.

 

Afterwards, I'd like to keep up the Teaser Tuesday program but likely less frequently, (maybe twice a month) to keep sharing things we are working on here throughout the year rather than just leading up to a major version launch, we shall see.

+1 for this.. especially for BIM/CAD Managers, having to constantly keep tabs on Version changes for Workflows/Templates/etc every year, gets really taxing.. at least we'll have 'some' insight on upcoming changes. Already with the current 2018 teaser Tuesdays, I'm gearing up for the workflow change with multiple views (revising save views in the templates,etc).

 

For the cloud services:

- How much storage is available for the cloud service?

- is OneDrive on the roadmap? OneDrive comes with 1Tb storage with MS Office 2016.

It's like a list of everything that went wrong with Nomad/CloudServices when I tried to set the boss up with a copy of his house project to take on holidays just two weeks ago. ;-)

 

Also agree with above are MS OneDrive and Apple iCloud on the cards, as both are more small business friendly. Also Aconex needs to be in the roadmap.

+1 For MS OneDrive. 

 

And, longshot +1 for personal NAS cloud services such as Synology Cloud Services, https://www.synology.com/en-us/dsm/feature/cloud_service. 

 

Oh, and BTW, really impressed with all the development and appreciate the Teaser Tuesdays. Good job you all!
