This worked for me in the past:<br>
Create a _template_ project with all your styles, database connections, links, <br>
color ramps, scripts, etc. and hand it out to the users or install it for <br>
them. Then they can all access the same data, have the same styles and so on, <br>
but their project gets saved on their local machine. This is also a great <br>
fallback, if somebody messes up their project beyond repair. <br>
<br>
Still, it's a bit messy, because file paths might get broken and everyone has <br>
to re-authenticate with the database. You will also get a lot of warnings <br>
about missing fonts, because until recently, QGIS would default to different <br>
fonts on windows macos and linux.<br>
<br>
As far as I know, there is no solution for seamless access by everyone, it's <br>
all quirky.<br>
