Projects: Local or Cloud?

When you start a new project, you can choose between local or cloud project.

Not sure which one to pick? Here’s a quick overview.

Cloud Development​

This means you can:

  • Access them anywhere.
  • Share them with your team easily.
  • Move faster when collaboration is important.

How to create a Cloud Project:

  1. Click the yellow New Cloud Project button.
  2. Select New Cloud Project from the list.
