Anyone using source control AND cloud sharing?

[kdeuler]

Hi. I'm curious if anyone has any experience or tips to share about a RoboHelp environment that uses BOTH source control and cloud sharing.

My company uses perforce. I'm purchasing a couple copies of TCS5, one for me in California, one for writer colleague in Europe. I'd like to use Perforce for version control/backup, but use Dropbox for RH asset sharing and sync. Is this workabout? I'm guessing that the Dropbox/sync mechnism won't work if one or both of us has not checked out a file that needs to be (automatically via sync) updated. ("Not checked out" = file is in read only state.)

If RH automatically checks files in/out of perforce in order to complete a cloudshare sync, that would be most cool!

Thanks in advance for your ideas!

Hi Kurt

Have you tried the scenario with RH 11?

It should automatically check-out the file or should prompt for it based on the settings Tools -> Options -> Version Control

I tried with Robo Source Control and SharePoint. And it is working for me. Check-in has to be done mannually.

Please try and let us know the result.

Thanks

No. I haven't had a chance to try this yet. Our company uses Perforce for source countrol. I believe there's an RH plugin that will integrate with Perforce. We'll no doubt try this.

My work is Linux only on server side. No Sharepoint or SQL Server available.

Thx.
