Cloud Collaboration between accounts

Hey all,

I recently purchase InDD so I can work on layouts for my university newspaper from home. My question is if there is a way for myself and my co-editor to work on the same document at the same time, but myself at home and he in the journalism lab on campus. Something similar to Google Drive and it's capabilities.

Thanks!

Andrew

Hi Andrew,

Adobe does allow you to share files and folders with others to work collaboratively. It doesn't however allow you to both edit the same files at the exact same time. There is no way to lock or file or show that another user is currently working on it. So you'd have to work out some kind of communication process to let the other know who was working on it. Here are some resources explaining how it works.

Hope that helps,
