sequential use of Gnucash on multiple computers

[Andrew Kolbus]

Peter,
My situation is identical to yours (single user, multiple computers).  I am
already a heavy Dropbox user, so I moved my gnucash directory (with
accounts/transaction file, log files, and backup files) to dropbox.  I
don't share reports or preferences.  Concurrency has not been an issue,
since dropbox also syncs the lock file (and gnucash then warns me if I left
it running on another machine).  I haven't needed a revision history (yet),
but dropbox keeps this as well, and it's saved me in the past on other
projects.

Best Regards,
Andrew
