How to organize joint remote work of designers?

Question

Project management

A little background: I'm a young cto in an indie startup and I have a lot of questions, and there is absolutely no experience in competently organizing processes, organizing teamwork.
There are 3 designers and it is necessary to competently implement joint remote work on one project. 1 designer is already experienced and experienced in combat, the 2nd one is very green, and I still don’t really understand how to distribute tasks between them.
Now the design development has just begun, and there are only sketches of the first group of Wireframes, that is, all the main work is still ahead.
Designers work in Adobe XD
1) What tools to use for collaboration between designers (preferably free), for example, cloud storage with synchronization, like google drive
2) how to distribute tasks between them?
I am familiar with Agile, but the problem is the presence of inexperienced designers, who, as it were, are "on the hook", but it is not yet clear what is on the hook. And now the question is what tasks to give them.
If you have any advice, please listen carefully.

Answer 1

Sit next to an experienced designer and soak in what their work is like and what might be needed for sharing.
The work of a designer is often associated with the processing of large amounts of data, original images, which means it is quite logical to get a project file of half a gigabyte somewhere in the middle of the work.
Look for the opportunity not to store all the files inside the project file (as far as I remember, there is always such an opportunity, let the designers have to do a couple of extra gestures for this), but in this case, transferring the modified project to another person will become an order of magnitude easier, you won’t have to copy again and again the same files over the network.
Don't use dropbox/google drive/microsoft... it's a time bomb, even if their speeds and limits work for you now, later you'll have to pay triple just to save time and switch to another platform.
The most convenient of the free ones for synchronizing files is syncting, terribly convenient, fast, simple ... at most, you may need to launch one of the machines specially designated as a server, if the designers' working machines are often turned off ... you won't need to configure anything special .

1. Definitely switch to Figma. Designers work on one layout in the cloud. Very comfortably. If you want experiments, make a fork and work for pleasure. Adobe is hell. Don't ruin anyone's life.
2. Do not try to set tasks for designers if you are not a designer at the same time. It’s generally a strange story that CTO manages designers without understanding at all how their work works, how long this or that task takes, and how the design process is built in general. Delegate this function to your lead-disser. He must perfectly understand what can be given to beginners, and what is better to do on his own.
