Intellij shared editing within the same IDE

We want to keep the source code .jsp and .java files contained within our own system. We have a private github repository but it is for backup and commit note purposes only.

I have two developers working together via Zoom currently since Zoom does a good job with not allowing people to copy code outside of the system by default. The trouble now is that only one file can be edited at a time by a coder. I would like them to be able to at least make changes to different files simultaneously inside Intellij and without having to let the source code go outside of the system.

Assistance with this is greatly appreciated.

Jazz, I think you may have something, but they don't have live chat which means it will be very difficult to get my questions answered about it.

The cloud version appears to be under $10 mo which would be perfect, but the other on-premises version seems too expensive.

I do not want them to be able to copy code outside of my computer to the extent that I can help it.

When I went to the plugins section of the IDE per the CodeTogether instructions, I noticed this by JetBrains at the top of the list https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/14896-code-with-me so I tried it first. It appears to want the person that you share the link with to do things in their own IDE which is not ideal.

I can't tell by this page if you can prevent copying or paste outside of my system.
