How do I share a return between desktop/laptop computers?

I have the return ".tax2024" on a google shared drive.

 

I have two computer with TT Desktop installed and licensed.

 

On the first computer,  I can open the file fine.

 

One the second computer it asks me for a document password.  I did not apply a password to this file and have no idea what it would be.

 

 No, I will not be trying to open on both computers at the same time, but want to be able to switch back and forth as needed.

I would try to move the file to the second computer’s hard drive before opening it.   And you really shouldn’t go back and forth with the file.  You can get out of sync and mess it up.

Why would it mess up the file?  There is no technical reason that it would unless the app is storing state outside of the file.  This is done all the time with other applications.
