[QGIS-Developer] Problems with MAC and OneDrive

[Saber Razmjooei]

Hi Allen,

It is possible to use GeoPackages and synchronise them across multiple
devices/platforms (including mobile devices through https://inputapp.io
which is based on QGIS) using Mergin service (
https://public.cloudmergin.com/ and for your own hosting:
https://github.com/lutraconsulting/mergin). This allows you offline
editing, collaboration with other users and tracking changes.

Kind regards
Saber
