As a single user I have a system. I work on the main files on my
machine. At a particular evening time when I am usually at the
computer, but unlikely to be thinking of financial stuff, a cron job
copies the Gnucash files to the other directory on my computer which
auto-syncs with the cloud system (I have OwnCloud, Dropbox and Box all
available). I do not copy the lock files.

My system would not be safe for 2 users to share data, it's just my
backup system.
