hi everyone,

not sure how many people use MLO in a team setting. we wanted to use
it in a team of 6 people, one of them the manager overseeing the
others' tasks. the idea was that everything is part of one branch and
gets shared among all the others. this way, everyone could see each
other's priority tasks, thanks to some views based on context (name of
the person) and importance.
it seemed like a wonderful system: what i particularly liked is that
this way, one's own todolist is the same as the todolist that is
shared (in project software, one often has the online todolist, but
one also uses a personal todo list, and i wanted to avoid this split).

however, we are experiencing that the syncing is too risky. folders
disappear, new things seem to get overwritten by olders (on other
computers), etc. Not sure how that happens, but i'm wondering if
others have been able to develop a stable system (more or less meeting
the above considerations)?

Thank you
Tobias

For what it is worth I have experienced similar problems having MLO open on just 2 computers sharing files via DropBox. I don't think it is designed for a true multi-user data model.

by the way, hoping the could can add some stability?
some kind of branch overwrite protection could perhaps solve something

MLO Cloud is specially designed for collaboration and multi-user. You
can share your Cloud file with other Cloud users.
MLO is not designed for multi-user access via DropBox. You may use
synchronization in LAN. See more in help.

Andrey.

yes andy, i know there's possibilities, and it could be really
awesome, but in my experience so far it seems too easy to mess each
other's task lists up. Too easy to make mistakes. I'm talking about
bidirectonal syncing for all team members here. I will try one-
directional for team members + bidirectional for manager next and see
if that works better.
