I have been using Dropbox to do this between 2 Linux computers (desktop and
laptop) and a Windows10 laptop for several years now. The files usually sync
within a minute or two of making any local  changes on any one computer when
the others are connected to the network. The dropbox daemon seems to respond
to changes of the content directly as they occur and not work ona time
schedule. You do have to be careful not to have or leave files open on
multiple computers at the same time however. 

You do need to download and setup the requisite Dropbox daemons on each
machine and link them to the same Dropbox account but once that is done it
is almost totally transparent. Usually there is a link on the signin page
for Dropbox on the web which will download the app. Usually sense the OS and
downloads the appropriate version. not familiar with Macs. Most Linux
distros have the dropbox daemon available for their software sources.
Windows 10i think you can also get from the store. 

Originally I copied my datafile to my dropbox account using the web
interface and then setup the Dropbox folder on each machine to sync to the
account on their server. Then used file open from within GnuCash to navigate
to the local Dropbox account on each machine to open it. After that it
should Save to the local Dropbox account copy you opened it from which will
then sync to the server folder and in turn sync to the other computers.
