[GNC] Linux and Windows using same data? (Ze'ev Ionis)

[Mike Brady]

Absolutely. All you need is to have the data files on a disk that's 
accessible to both. For Linux, you will need to get access to your 
Onedrive if that's your preference: I use abraunegg's Onedrive client 
which works well. Note the problem with certain versions of the curl 
library that may require some work to manage since many Linux 
distributions don't provide the current libraries. If you dual-boot 
Linux and Windows on the same computer, some Linux distributions can 
read/write NTFS volumes on the same machine, so again you can have 
access to the same files from both places.

Note that it's a file access issue, not a GnuCash issue, as long as 
you're running similar versions of GNC in both operating systems (Linux 
distributions are often a point version or 2 behind Windows, but that's 
usually close enough).

> I have both windows and Linux computers. I would like to use gnucash on both computers to access the same data file. Of course, this would not be simultaneous access. Is this possible? My data is on OneDrive.
