You have to ensure there's continuity - at least something online and connected at all times, to ensure that the system can know and have distributed the latest version of the files. I just have it running on my desktop, and at this point, the system's been running for nearly 6 years, and the file conflicts are rare. They only happen when I e.g. do edits on my laptop offline, then go home and do more edits on my desktop before letting my laptop sync.
