Hi all
Wf Pro is proving to be very complicated about sharing a TM on Dropbox with someone else so that we can both work on documents in a shared project.

My guess is that this is because all that info seems to be stored, for some strange reason, in the Users folder deep in the depths of Microsoft's operating system and seeing as all that is not in Dropbox, I can't share it with my colleague.
The whole "Connect to Remote" seems incredibly complex - we have no idea where we even get a URL for the TM or what a "Cluster Short Code" is...
Surely there must be a way of doing this without having to do a PhD in Computer Science...?!
Any guidance much appreciated.
Thanks!

best to use WFA Jul 1, 2019

I have been reliably told that the best way of doing this is via Wordfast Anywhere: ie upload a TMX format of the TM to WFA and then each person link to that WFA TM in Wf Pro.
