I would recommend Sharelatex over Overleaf. Faster, more stable, better looking (imo), and Word style track changed & comments.

Don't disagree on the better looking, disagree on the rest — without git (version control) it's just not cutting it for me though.
-
Overleaf has comments like any latex document and Word-style tracking really is not my bag. But I really really need version control.
-
I use ShareLatex, it syncs with Dropbox (although for new users only in paid version). Disadvantage: max 2 users in free version
-
Do you pay?
-
No (have the sync feature as beta tester). I did pay for a couple of months when working with multiple co-authors. Now some prefer overleaf
-
so I feel like I can't justify the expense
-
I would rather be on just a text editor and sync to gh. The only reason I've been preferring overleaf is how much easier it makes collabs.

Do you collaborate with people who mainly use word? I'd definitely switch to latex but main attrition might come from collaborators
-
No. I haven't collaborated with Word except once.
-
I'm envious

-
That one time has led to further collaboration but now in latex as I'm first author and other authors know latex too. It's just the field
-
it's computational so I'm fortunate.

-
Report back, if you feel like it!

-
Will do! :)

I write all my papers with
@overleaf but I am yet to collaborate using it. I'm looking for any excuse to do so, though! -
Collaborate a lot on it myself and sync stuff up with github depending on project. Works well!

Overleaf, but still doesn't get round the copy/paste into word for most of my collabs
any suggestions? -
I don't run into this problem but it's very annoying.
