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

[Bruce Griffis]

That is a really good solution! I'll need to look closer into how to keep
the database concurrent across machines. I was just using a thumb drive. I
then tried syncthing which worked really well. But syncthing can do Global
discovery and uses relays to send files across the Internet using TLS
encryption. I don't want to do that with passwords. I just put up a shared
folder on a Raspberry Pi using Samba, and was thinking of storing the file
there

Anyway, time for me to look closer at synchronization options. All I know
for sure is I don't want that file on Google Drive or Microsoft OneDrive.
