Investigate potential for onedrive implementation #7

Closed ekothe closed 3 years ago

ekothe commented 3 years ago

The core functionality in googledocs relies on the fact that google docs converts to raw .txt files to a google doc when uploaded. We should investigate how other online editors convert similarly formatted files to determine the feasibility of implementation in other editors. This would also be useful for the ongoing package rename discussion.

Note that the ability to upload files to onedrive is available in Microsoft365R https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/Microsoft365R/index.html

Unfortunately as of 2021-03-10, Word365 will not open a .txt file. Raw .txt files uploaded to onedrive can be opened in a web-based text editor but this does not have live collaboration features. At least as of right now it would not appear feasible to implement onedrive implementation
