If you must share the actual library, use a file syncing tool like
DropBox or rsync or Microsoft SkyDrive instead of a networked drive. Even with
these tools there is danger of data corruption/loss, so only do this if you are
willing to live with that risk. In particular, be aware that **Google Drive**
is incompatible with |app|, if you put your |app| library in Google Drive, you
*will* suffer data loss. See

using a file-syncing tool it is **essential** that you make sure that both
|app| and the file syncing tool do not try to access the |app| library at the
same time. In other words, **do not** run the file syncing tool and |app| at
the same time.
