That's not quite right. The save report configurations are not stored with the 
installed program files, they are stored in your home directory, but in a path 
you typically don't go directly as a user. For that exact path, check the link 
David Cousens provided earlier.

There is no harm in synching this saved-reports file to your work PC. Your 
sync tool may or may not support synching arbirtrary files though.

Other than that, your use case is exactly why we are considering to store the 
report configurations directly in mybooks.gnucash at some point in the future.
