I was working in emacs with a colleague: Different locations -- file shared by dropbox
Now we can set the backup to go somewhere outside the Dropbox directory
However emacs also seems to create another file -- a link .#filename
that causes some conflict
Can emcas be setup to not have that file be in the same directory as the file being worked on?

not sure if moving them is an option.

IOW we want and intend to edit the file at almost the same time
And so a bit of treading on each other’s toes is acceptable
A: Ok Ive added this section. Can you check?
B: Looks good... Ive changed the last sentence
