Well if user group has more than one computer with OpenLP, 
running different databases (and settings + updates) on each 
computer just isn’t that good a solution.

Running the install on Google Drive shared for 6 computers I never
had any corruption issues. If two computers use the install at the same 
time and modify the same files, Drive creates “Duplicate” for the 
file in use but does not corrupt them.

The condition for bug described here is rare and can be fixed
by removal of one file, thus I would consider the benefits of the
cloud install significantly higher than the cons.

Writing a DYI at your own risk guide for cloud installs could catch attention 
of the group for whom the cloud based data synch/install is a must.

Title:
  Portable builds might get stuck and not start

Status in OpenLP:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  Problem
  http://superuser.com/questions/586090/fix-portableapps-com-another-instance-of-is-currently-closing-please-wait

  Background story, this happened in June I think.
  Our church has OLP portable installed to Google Drive and
  synched to 5 laptops and 2 PC:s.

  All of the sudden OLP stops working and won’t start.

  The following message is given:
  “Another instance of OpenLP portable is currently starting.
  Please wait for it to finish before launching it again.”

  No matter how long the wait or amount of tries, it just won’t start.

  Following the instructions given behind the link
  I managed to get OLP working again.

  After that I tweaked the “OpenLPPortable.ini” (stored in:
  App\Appinfo\Launcher)

  to allow multiple instances of the program.

  Ever since the program hasn’t got stuck again.
  (OLP still asks if you want to start an another
  instance if one is already running)

  Heres my tweaks to the config:

  [Launch]
  SinglePortableAppInstance=False
  SingleAppInstance=False

  Maybe we could set this to default config
  or some alternative tweak to make it more stable?
