Hello,

My team and I work using Incopy for our editors and Indesign for deigners. Currently we use a inhouse server for the workflow but soon maybe be working fully remote so we need to switch to a cloud server for our workflow. I use BOX and BoxSync for other projects but not with Incopy I worry about people working in documents at the smae time and cuaing issues. Does anyone else use a cloud server for the workflow and if so how and what?

 

thank you for any help, I am trying to avoid havign the editors working directly in indesign if I can.

I don't use Box but with Dropbox it is possible that the lock files won't sync. I haven't found this to be an issue with OneDrive though.

I recommend testing it thoroughly and communicating with everyone at least initially when files are being opened and worked on.

BobLevine May ask How you use Incopy with OneDrive? What is your workflow?
I am new to OneDrive and want to explore it as a option.

 

thank you

Put everything in a Onedrive folder. Share it with others.

The recipients must add the folder to their Onedrive.

Be sure that everyone has that folder set to always be local and not to cloud only which could cause problems.
