Hello,

recently i bought myself a new Laptop which i want to use while travelling.
I mainly edit on my Destop-PC but i also want to edit on my laptop on the go.

Is there a way to keep the same catalog updatet on both devices?
And if so, how?

Thats already for the Help.
Best Regards

LrC is built on SQLite which, "Usually, SQLite allows at most one writer to proceed concurrently." Don't misinterpret 'Usually' to mean Adobe could program SQlite to allow for multiple writers. You can get into other issues in terms of accurate updates and performance if you tried to allow multiple writers.

I use SQLite and am very cautious to only have one writer at a time but have multiple readers. SQLite works very well and is a light-weight DB. 

This is a long answer to 'no'

If you want something that simply works, use an external disk?

Syncing catalogs using some sort of cloud services is error-prone, and many that have tried have faced corrupt catalogs.
