How do you deal with 'the cloud' not being under your control? Can you sync the documents from sharelatex to your local file system automatically?

- Tehnix 10y agoThey support syncing to and from Dropbox directly https://www.sharelatex.com/dropbox https://www.sharelatex.com/dropbox. So you can work offline, use your own editor etc.
- s_kilk 10y ago[I work for ShareLaTeX] You can also download your entire project as a zip archive, so you're not locked in to our platform in any way. EDIT: also, ShareLatex is open source and fully self-hostable.
- stochastician 10y agoI didn't realize this, and it's absolutely incredible. You guys are great!
- mynewtb 10y agoThanks, not bad! I wish there was syncing without adding another cloud company to the mix though. Eg git or rsync.
- Rick_Sullivan 10y agoI've used Overleaf (formerly WriteLaTeX) with git before. It's especially nice that people comfortable with git can edit locally, while still having the option of editing directly in the browser.
