Proto file simple contains/defines the "contract" between your server and clients so in a nutshell you'll be using same objects/messages between your server and clients. If you are not planning to change the "contract" and/or version it, you can simply use a single proto file for both the client and server.
But, if you'll need to extend your protocol messages in the future, obviously you'll be maintaining different versions of proto file descriptors across the server and client projects of yours.
