This makes perfect sense, thanks for the detailed explanation!

Hi Maik!
Yeah, as I wrote, with default notebooks shouldn't be any problems:
Default means you didn't edited the notebook.zim file in the root
folder of notebook. Zim place the cache in the XDG_CACHE_HOME
(~/.cache or %APPDATA%\Roaming\zim\cache) by default, and the hidden
.zim folder contains only state.conf file, which is storing the state
of the notebook window, which node seen last, windows size, etc, etc.
If you edited notebook.zim file in the root folder of notebook, there
is a hidden option called Shared, which is True by default. Change it
to False causing Zim will storing the cache in the hidden .zim folder
which is practical to encrypted notebooks (I'm using gocryptfs for
that purpose). My advice applies to this case.
Sorry, if I wasn't clear.

Hi Jake and Krisztian,
I synced my notebooks via Resilio since 2010 or so (btsync was the
name in those days). No problems ever.Zim very nicely recognizes
changed files and reloads them. So you can just walk to a next node
and edit the workbook there then walk back and continue.
Sincerely, Maik.

Hi Jake!
You can syncing that folder if you use shared notebooks (default Zim
notebooks are shared), there are not causing any problems, but if you
use unshared notebooks, you should blacklisted the index.db file in
Nextcloud Client.
I don't do that. I'm using Nextcloud for synchronizing my Zim
notebooks, but I don't use shared notebooks (in the notebook.zim file
shared option sets to False), so my .zim folders contain not only
state.conf file but the index.db cache file, which can cause some
strange behaviour when I was synced. Constant wiriting of cache file
caused problems with syncing and slowing down the Zim itself.

According to https://zim-wiki.org/manual/FAQ.html, it is not
necessary to include the hidden .zim folder when backing up
notebooks or syncing notebooks across machines. But is it safe to
include this folder anyway, or will it break things? In my case I
am syncing a notebook between multiple computers using Nextcloud.
Thanks,
Jake
