As long as you are using the same GnuCash file, you should be fine via
cloud storage and symlinks.
If however, you are using two separate files, your reports will break at
some point because the reports operate off internal GUIDs for each
account in the report, which will inevitably be different between
separate GnuCash files as they diverge. (such as creating a new account
post-copy even if they have the same name, they'll have separate GUIDs,
so only one instance would work properly on that new report)
See the Wiki concerning file locations to figure out where to symlink
your custom reports and/or custom configurations.

Hi,
I'm looking to use gnucash with my wife in order to handle our household
budget.
We have a pretty decent setup where we have a OneDrive folder that is
shared between us, and then we can simply open the .gnucash file and input
our transactions.
That works well for us, and we'd like to keep doing that.
Additionally I made a bunch of reports to give us an overview of our
spending.
My understanding is that these reports are stored within my PCs home
directory, which makes it impossible to share the reports across PCs.
I could just put a copy in the one drive, and have her copy it over to her
machine, but that makes it inconvenient to update everywhere if I make new
reports or change existing ones.
Is there any way to adjust where the reports are saved to/read from?
Ideally I would just point it at a OneDrive folder and we would both be
reading the same report files.
