[GNC] Recommendations for hosting gnucash file - Google Drive, Microsoft 365, Local server?

My keepass password is 32-characters long.   It's just a phrase that 
helps me remember my wedding anniversary (:).  Keepass also has a 
cellphone app, and one nice feature on it is, once you've unlocked the 
database, then on subsequent (frequent) visits to the app, it only 
requires the last-three characters of the password, so it's easy to open 
quickly.
