Quicken use on multiple Macs.

I've read earlier posts on this subject and think I understand the problem. I wonder, though, if there isn't a different solution. The source file for Quicken is located in ~library/application support/quicken/documents. Could one make a duplicate of this file on the home computer and insert it in the same location on secondary Macs when away from home and reverse this procedure when one came home again (if the laptop had updated its accounts)? Would this work? Would it mess up the actual Quicken Classic iOS app data?

It doesn't really matter that the file is located in the Library folder. You could move it to the Documents folder or the Desktop or anywhere else.
One caveat to this: you should only put the live Quicken data file in the Documents folder or a Desktop folder *if* you do not have your System Settings for iCloud > iCloud Drive set to stop the Desktop & Documents folders on iCloud. if you do have your Desktop & Documents stored on iCloud, you can create a Quicken folder in your Home folder (Macintosh HD > Users > [your home folder]).
