Ron covered it well as far as I understand it. It has worked well for me for several years now. I learned a few things from Ron that I may try the next time I use Intellishare. Thanks Ron.
One thing that might need clarification with your question is that I, and the others I know who use this, use actual Legacy Files, not Gedcoms to work with Intellishare and to collaborate with each other. I've never tried it with a Gedcom so I can't comment on the possible problems using Gedcoms. I keep the master file (Keeper). For others working on the file (by their request) I export only a segment of the Legacy File for the lines they are working on, rather than the entire file; i.e. My wife only wants her lines, then us and our descendants. Legacy makes it easy to split a segment off that meets that request. I use Dropbox to share the new file with others. We coordinate on a regular basis, the frequency depending on how much we're worked on our files, each putting their files back into Dropbox. I will access their files in shared folder in Dropbox and run Intellishare again. That makes it easy to do them all at once and in minimal time. The Important thing is that they should not be working on their file when you are doing this. I can run intellshare in a short time and get a new copy right back to them so that they can continue working a few hours later. We've been very happy with it.
