RE: An Alternative Use For Scrivener - Steem Post Catalogue

in #scrivener7 years ago

Ah, I've been using Scrivener for ages, writing both my dissertation and my manuscripts in them. And I have one specific Scrivener file for all my short stories and essays i write for contests. But your use is taking it to the next level, nice!

I do wonder, as you mention that you use it to organise a shared project as well, how you are sharing it with your collaborators. I'm working on a manuscript together with someone else, who also uses Scrivener, but it seems you cannot work in the same document/file at the same time, or have it synced from two computers. Have you also found a way to solve this, by chance? If so, please please please let me know. As now we're forced to use google drive, and for long and well-researched work, that is really a horror - well, if you're used to Scrivener that is.

Sort:  

We could share the same project if it's saved in a shared Dropbox. Not ideal, so will investigate further.

hmm, that might work. But then you don't open it simultaneously, probably. To further add to the confusing, I work with the windows version, and he has an apple. So probably this will never work.

Ah, the Windows vs Apple thing confuses things, plus the different version numbers of Scrivener.
