Is it possible to synchronize the database using the Mac iCloud?

In other word, if I can change the destination folder of the database and put it in the "documents folder" in both mac, this file will be the same and so, i will have a unique database in my machine.
Thanks

You can have your PokerTracker 4 processed folder in the cloud and then keep your databases in sync with a setup like this. Alternatively if one of the machines is always on even when not playing poker from it you could have both machines sharing the same PostgreSQL database - see this guide for further details.

Notes are saved in the database so manually entered notes won't transfer using the first method. You can export/import notes via 'Database -> Notes' which is OK if you are merging different notes from two databases or if you only ever transfer data from one database to another however if the same note exists in both databases then the note text is appended meaning that it will be doubled up so this isn't ideal if you are going to import notes from one database into another and then back again e.t.c. Incidentally if you are only using NoteTracker for notes then those will be created in each database separately.
