Hi

I tested with txt file. It always sync, regardless of whether I modify it computer from A or computer B.

You might try a dbskip(0) to refresh the buffers on each workstation to check if you can get them to see each others updates.

I get file1[Conflict 1], file1[Conflict 2], etc if the same file is accessed by two users. How to solve this.

You probably have to close the file to allow other user to write the data.

If you try to open a file exclusive and it fails -> somebody or yourself already opened it in another session.

You can't do realtime syncs with databases. All users would have to close the database before it can sync--and the entire database must then be synced on each computer. This is not the same as using a database server where the server contains the only copy of the database and users just download groups of records (or a single record) for updating. Then all changes to records in the group are updated one record at a time to the server's database. And the updates are done by locking the record to be updated, then updating. You cannot simulate this with something like Google Drive.

I think you need to ask this on a Google forum.
