Hi all: I'm about to start a large project and will need the help of two freelancers I often work with. This project has a very large number of files so I would like to be able to put the files in a common directory and perhaps even update the TM live (if possible).

I translated a big project along with 2 my team mates. I created 3 identical TMs for each translator (for example, TM_sk for me, TM_jd for John Doe, and TM_mj for Mary Jane).

I read an article about it, but I cannot find it now... The restriction is that free Dropbox allows me to have only 2 connections (i.e. 2 team membe...

Thank you Stepan. This is exactly the type of solution I was hoping for! I think I'll be able to live with the limitations for the time being. I had not thought of creating 3 TMs, this will be very helpful, thank you! | | | To report site rules violations or get help, contact a site moderator: You can also contact site staff by submitting a support request » Looking to share SDL Trados files and TMs with other freelancers without SDL Live Team or GroupShare Protemos translation business management system | Create your account in minutes, and start working! 3-month trial for agencies, and free for freelancers!
