    Hello!
    When i choose to get my project "chapter 2" from Cloud Collaborate creates new directory all the time.
    I have two options:
    1. If i choose highlevel directory like "d:/" Collaborate will create new folder "chapter 3", next time "chapter 4" and so on. I'm working in directory "chapter 21" right now
    2. If i choose as a directory folder chapter 2 Collaborate will create "chapter 2" new folder inside "chapter 2" existing folder. So i will get folder structure: "chapter 2/chapter 2/chapter 2/chapter 2/chapter 2".

    I expect that project from Cloud will overwrite my disk version of project. But Collaborate just create new folder and project. I don't like this behavior. Any suggestions?

    Hi @Corund! It sounds like you're opening your project using the In the Cloud tab in the launcher, instead of On Disk.

    In the Cloud is for when you don't have a local copy of your project to work on that someone uploaded earlier using Collaborate.
    On Disk is for after you've downloaded your project using In the Cloud or when you created the project on your computer and you want to continue working on it.

    I'm sorry for the confusion. I hope that clears things up.

    Yes, opening the project from On Disk will still let you pull and push changes with your teammates. :)
