Feature Request: Teams: Share Projects & Tasks with Others
We’re exploring a new feature for Pocket Informant on the Web that would allow users to create Teams making it easy to share projects, tasks, and responsibilities with others.Whether you're planning with family, coordinating with coworkers, or collaborating with a group, this feature would let you:
Add people to a shared team
Assign and share tasks within projects
Collaborate in real-time inside Pocket Informant Web
Keep personal and team planning separate but streamlined
Let us know if this is something you'd use by voting and leaving your thoughts!

There are a few ways to share your data.
First, Pocket Informant requires a subscription to informant sync to access the connection bundle. It is the subscription to the connection bundle that allows Pocket Informant to sync to any of the services.
It is possible to share a single subscription. As part of any Informant 5 subscription you can use the Informant Sync service. If you haven't already please go to the following link and create your Informant Sync account. https://pocketinformantonline.appspot.com/signup
The add that sync account in the Informant Sync settings for each Informant 5 application that you wish to unlock and tap begin sync, the application will remain unlocked as long as the sync subscription is current. It doesn’t matter if you have different iTunes accounts, just that you login to informant sync with the same username on both devices.
Then it’s your choice how you want to share your calendars as all of the following options will be available:
Google calendar - You can sync with google and share your calendars. You would either login to the same google account on both devices, or login to your own google account and within your google calendar online choose to share a calendar with them. The data will then be available in informant through your google calendar sync in informant and your google calendar online.
Apple calendar - if you have the same apple ID your calendars will all be available in informant automatically. If you have different apple ID’s you would need to share a calendar from within your apple calendar app on each device with each other. That data would then be available in informant automatically through your apple calendar sync in informant and your apple calendar app.
Informant sync - If you choose to share a subscription - since you would be already logged into the same account on both devices, you are already sharing your calendar assigned to this account. You can create as many calendars as you want that are synced and if you choose, stop the sync to specific calendars the other doesn’t need access to. You can start/stop syncing to these calendars easily by going to informant settings>accounts>informant sync>calendars to use
That said, we also have some really exciting features coming to our Web platform later this year that will allow full calendar share!

I suggested something like this years ago.
We should able to share calendars with others. Right now, to do that, I have to create an Apple calendar which is read into my Informant app and into my wife's...so she can see my work schedule.
