Could I put my infoqube database on a NAS or something like a Western Digital MyCloud, and access it from multiple computers at the same time, without any problems of conflicts, etc?  Even though IQ is not running on the computer/device where the database resides?  thanks.

I don't see why you couldn't. IQ's engine is meant for that : multiple users. Now, I don't know how it would react with multiple users using it all at once (should be fine though...), but if you're the only one using it from different computers : no problem.

I'm not a network expert, but if NAS behaves like a regular LAN, then there should be no problem as the JET database, which IQ uses, was designed for this environment.
 
IQ uses a very granular record locking system, so conflicts are essentially non-existent.
 
Only issue I can see is that changes made by other users are not immediately displayed. Pressing F5 (Refresh) will however update the display to show these changes.
