Box for Microsoft Office desktop coauthoring
Answered
I am planning to use BOX for project management tool.
In the past project, I was annoyed to the duplication of documents due to the conflict occurred because of multiple people editting the same document at once.
And, I found that there is a new update that enables simultaneous edit and collaborate on Office files in real-time.
However from the explanation on this update, I couldn't figure out what is specifically required to BOX users. (e.g. Any particular lisence such as Business? If so, how many? Do guest accounts also required, or only to admin?
May be there is an answer already in the past posts, but it would be very helpful if you answer to this quesiton.
Thank you
