I'm doing something similiar (using TeamDrive) to keep my installations
synchronized. 

I learned that it is not enough to have the gnucash file on a share but
several folders need to be kept identical for reports, online banking
setup etc. 

I have written a shell script to create and update the links from my
home dir to the shared drive. In case someone is interessed just let me
know.

This wiki page is looking quite complex. Currently I'm sharing the
following folders from my home dir: 

".aqbanking" ".gnucash" ".abtransfers" ".local/share/gnucash"
".gconf/apps/gnucash" ".config/gnucash" 
Does that look right for a standard Linux installation (without flatpak)
or am I missing something? 

Thank you.
