Just chipping into say that I sync all the files mentioned in this
thread through Syncthing, between multiple Emacs sessions that run
24/7 on different machines. Since Syncthing watches for inode changes
and is pretty speedy, I've never run into discrepancy problems between
the various newsrc.eld files and so on.
To be safe, though, I usually do quit Gnus and load it again when I'm
sitting down at another computer.
