I would like to see some of the specific details that have been referenced
recently in this thread recorded in the FAQ for easy reference. A few of
the particular items include:
1. Interoperability between major releases: The FAQ is not specific about
whether the 2.6.21 release is able to read
I haven't had any problem using it on Linux (through WSL) and Windows
version of GNUCash . I actually have lower version of GNUCash on my Ubuntu
(v3.11) then Windows (v4.2) which allows me to work between two without any
issues. Of course I use XML as the target format for saving the file data.

I'll just add 2 points here:
1. I sync my GnuCash (SQL) file across Linux and macOS. In the past 3
months have not run into any issues whatsoever. I see people mention this
use case regularly on the list, so it sounds like GnuCash is quite robust
across multi-platform usage.
2. For anyone

Ah there's also the other use case - I didn't think it would handle the use
case where I have only one laptop on and I update Gnucash data on it and
then shutdown that laptop and then fire up another pc elsewhere in the
house. It seemed to me that this meant the other pc wouldn't be updated -
Hi Chris,
Yes I looked at Syncthing a little while ago but at the time it just seemed
easier to go with the existing Dropbox/FreeFileSync setup. I wasn't sure
how Syncthing would handle the situation where for example I had a laptop
turned off for a period of time that wasn't sync'd up and I

1. Dropbox syncs between the cloud and the local pc's automagically for me
so a copy of the updated file is always copied down to the local pc into
the Dropbox folder when the pc is turned on.
2. I run FreeFileSync manually on demand to just sync the data file in my

You can use the Insync program form https://www.insynchq.com/ to
synchronize a Google Drive or MS One Drive on Linux machines.
As well as FreeFileSync, Unison
(https://www.cis.upenn.edu/~bcpierce/unison/) also does file synchronizing
between machines using ssh over a network. I requires
David, you may have just solved one of our problems.
Google Drive doesn't offer a sync feature for Linux, as far as I can find.
1 - I'm assuming you sync between your Dropbox account and yourlocal Linux or
Windows PC... right?
2 - Does FreeFileSync auto sync to each computer or do you have to
Fran,
I should perhaps add I'm assuming you save the file in the default xml
format :-) I'm also using Dropbox and FreeFileSync to sync the file on
whatever pc I happen to be in front off at the time

I have been using the same Gnucash file on Win 7, Win 10, Ubuntu Linux &
MacOS Big Sur without issue so yes.

Given a GnuCash file myStuff.gnucash...
Can that file be shared and worked on on both a Windows 10 machine and a Linux
Mint 20.0 Cinnamon machine?
Or does GnuCash save the two files differently for Windows 10 and Linux Mint?
(In our case the .gnucash file lives in the cloud so either computer can
