This means we both have Dropbox installed and the Project folder automatically syncs between us. One limitation of this is you can't both work on the Project at the same time, but if you are working with some one in Australia this may not be much of a problem. Where would this be stored? > Using dropbox the project would be stored on both computers and on the dropbox servers. Do we need to purchase a set of software EACH? Yes. Can 'joint' projects WORK? Good question. My sister does not do much active research, but we get on fine and she adds information when she needs to and we don't often cause a "clash" by both saving at the same time, if it does happen I merge the clash back into the main project. The other option is to use the Merge options to merge separate projects on a regular basis rather than having one single project. -- Jane.
