[Qgis-user] Remote Access by Multiple Users

[Saber Razmjooei]

You can use GeoPackage for multi-editing but not directly. GeoDiff (
https://github.com/MerginMaps/geodiff) is a low level library to handle the
changes. Mergin Maps is a platform built around that. You can install the
QGIS plugin and then users can make changes to the files and sync the data.
The added benefit is that you can version your data and see the full change
history.

Kind regards
Saber
