Hi, We use Google Drive on Macs for shapefile and GeoPackages. The first thing we always tell our users is to set the files to Available Offline, so all reads/writes are local before being synced up to the cloud. That reduces issues, but all the obvious ones around file corruption and overwriting still apply. As mentioned, GDAL/QGIS did use to always write the lockfile inside whenever anyone opened a geopackage, which would cause the file to sync back to the cloud and flood your bandwidth, which is a real pain. That has changed, but it doesn't solve the multiple-users overwriting issue though. My long-term solution was going to be building a proper geospatial infrastructure with MerginMaps and PostGIS so people 'check-out' the geopackages they needed, then merged them back in. Sadly we've just been sold to an ESRI-using company, so that will never happen, however they do use Sharepoint so maybe I'll find out if that's any better than Drive in my near future.
Cheers! John.
