[QGIS-Developer] Problems with MAC and OneDrive

[Patrick Dunford]

I'll endorse that plus in noting that I have seen tables wiped clean 
with geopackage where there may be multiple users. Even if there is only 
one actual user, there is a risk with multiple clients on a file based 
system because there is no inherent mechanism with the file based layers 
to handle transactions the way there would be with a DBMS server. SQLite 
is not recommend over a network for multiple clients.

That is separate from the other point which is that any one local client 
can overwrite the cloud version which is risky. Is there versioning 
control built into OneDrive?
