Couple more notes:
I dual-boot Windows 11 and Linux Mint on the same machine. Windows and
Linux are installed on separate physical disks (though separate
partitions work the same way), and data are on other separate disks
(machine has 2 SSDs and 2 HDs. Mint (Gnucash 5.10 in Flatpack) has no
problem working with the Gnucash data files on the separate data disk
(NTFS) out of the box. Other flavors of Linux might need something added
to do that. Primary system used for Gnucash work, however, is Window.
Because of dual-booting, there is no possibility of both OS's having the
data file open at the same time.
I don't regularly do it, but I can also copy my Gnucash data to Onedrive
and work on if from a different machine. Onedrive simply acts as
network-attached storage in that application. Gnucash does simple
locking when opening the file, so there would be at least a speed bump
if somebody else tried to open the file from Onedrive while I was
working on it. Again, seldom used.
My main way of sharing the Gnucash data is by sneakernetting USB sticks
with the bookkeeper. Then, of course, trying to remember where the most
recent copy of the data file is ... I'm prone to "Dory" moments (see
"Little Mermaid"). ;-)
Yes, more questions need to be answered...

Yes, and there OTHER questions you need to answer.
Are these two different machines (connected by a LAN)?
Is this on the same machine? If so, is this two separate partitions?
Or is Linux running in a Windows partition (by one of the ways that
can be done) or vice versa?
Oh, one more possibility. Here my cable-wireless modem has several
Ethernet and USB ports (for example, our printers connect to the modem
by Ethernet*) So COULD have a data drive connected with the gnucash
data not on either machine.

24+ hours I'd have to go through getting it reconnected.
