NVivo 13 Collaboration Cloud (Old Collaboration Cloud - not recommended)

NVivo 13 Collaboration Cloud (also called Collaboration Cloud (legacy)) does not work with NVivo 12, only NVivo 13. Researchers often anticipate that it will function similar to a Google document, but that is not how it works. It provides cloud storage to store an NVivo project file. There is some integration with NVivo, but each person still has to download the master project file (from the Collaboration Cloud), work on it, then pass it back to the project lead to merge the changes. So, it is not much more than what you could do with U of T’s cloud services, such as OneDrive. There are currently NO plans for U of T Libraries to subscribe to NVivo 13 Collaboration Cloud. This method is not recommended, but it is mentioned so as not to confuse it with the new Collaboration Cloud because this old version still shows up in various menu options when using older versions of NVivo.

See NVivo’s Collaboration Cloud pages for Windows or MacOS for more information.

Note: When considering cloud solutions for your research, there may be research ethics considerations, such as what access does Lumivero have to your data and where is your data being stored. Read the terms and conditions carefully before proceeding.
