I did once use gnucash for android. I could export a file and import
that into my desktop.
It wasn't worth the trouble, as others have mentioned, making a note on
your phone is just as easy to handle. 
I now have a policy of asking for a paper receipt or an emailed receipt.

That's my understanding too.

Frankly, I wouldn't risk it. In fact, I _didn't_ risk it. I looked at
one of them a couple of years ago and decided I didn't want to take the
risk of database corruption.

If you need to take notes during the day, using your phone, it's easy to
just text yourself.

Neither are connected with this official project.

As I understand it, neither is current, and have not kept pace with 
GnuCash development. Therefore, compatibility and usability are your 
mystery to discover on your own.


People use GnuCash via 'cloud' storage, but be warned only *one* user 
should be accessing the file at any one time. The storage service itself 
may present problems. Do a list search for Google Drive here to see what 
folks have encountered.

I think they are independent and not connected with GC ORG.

However, I just wish to understand if I use any of the two  android app just 
for basic day to expense posting, sync with say.. gdrive. And on desktop, if I 
access the file from gdrive folder (synced), then my account stays in sync. Is 
this possible with kind of GNU cash file structure.?
