"I have been using Latex and then Overleaf for a few years. At some point, while working on a book, we needed to have a way to manage a reference list across multiple collaborators that would jointly work on such a project. This was when I stumbled upon CiteDrive, and I have been using it ever since also for my own projects. One can have multiple bib files, one for each self contained project, but I use it having a single master file shared across projects. It provides a way to have a single file online that I can use across all my projects, allowing anyone else to add references to it when you collaborate on any given project."
