    Yes you can do that, but you do not share the one file as such - there is no locking ability on system like Windows to make it safe to do so.

    Moneydance achieves the objective by each machine having its own copy of the data file that it manages locally and the software passes updates between systems by using a shared location in order to keep each local copy up-to-date.

    Details on the setup are in the Knowledge Base:
