Fwd: Gnucash on two computers

[Marty Engelking]

Plutocrat - You mentioned "You could use something like Dropbox to sync the
files between two computers. This would also sync the lock file, which
would prevent you from opening the file on two computers at the same time."
Would this also apply to One Drive or Google Drive?

Thank You
