Thanks.  I see that answers a lot of questions about file locations.

Yes.  I store the main data file on encrypted cloud storage so I can open my books on multiple devices, though not at the same time!  I don't mind if I have to duplicate the effort of configuring preferences once in each installation, but customized report configs would ideally be available and editable on all devices.

Right.  I have used that tool in the past, and I had forgotten about it.  If I could redirect configs directly into a Dropbox-replicated directory then that would probably be preferable to installing another tool for the syncing.  But, I now have more info and can probably get something going that I'm happy with.

Thanks.

Each time I update any of these I manually fire up FreeFileSync to copy up to Dropbox and when I'm on a different pc use FFS to copy the latest versions down if they have been changed.  You could do the same thing with a USB drive or even your home router if it allows you to plug in usb storage if you don't like the idea of your financials being in the cloud and all your devices are in one location.  Are you currently using GnuCash on multiple devices ?  How are you dealing with it at the moment.
