Co-drafting on a common scrivener file in Dropbox?

Scrivener
1

Hi,

I was wondering if any of you have experience with several authors drafting a on common scrivener file that is shared through Dropbox?

Is it workable? dangerous? Can it work if we avoid being on the same file at the same time?

Thanks!

Yes, this is pretty easy to do, so long as you make sure to only have one person using the project at a time. The software will try to detect when someone else is online and warn you about it.

Other than that, you should pass this link around to everyone that will be editing the project: Using Scrivener with Cloud-Sync Services. That’s important stuff for keeping the project sane.
