Synchronous collaboration with other scholars or across computers is not currently supported, but we are working hard to develop a system for asynchronous collaboration.

You can save a Tropy project anywhere, on your hard drive, on an external drive, on a cloud drive. If you want others to be able to access the project and use it, you may need to set up a portable project (read how to do that ).
