Sharing a world map with dedicated friends.
I have a cloud map saved that I play with my family. I'd like for everyone to be able to play and contribute to the game, even if I myself am not playing.
I tried to lend the world data via steam_autocloud.vdf in worlds\ to everyone, where everyone has the same accountid info, but when that was changed for the other players, they still saw the old games they themselves made.
"steam_autocloud.vdf"
{
"accountid" "XXXXX"
}
Is there a way to share this data successfully so any player could be a host server? Would prefer to do this where one player hosts rather than spend the money for a dedicated 3rd party online server.
Online discussions seem old, talking about how to share a local save, but it's unclear if that will allow everyone to continue to save their characters in the cloud or not.

I feel like I remember hearing about a server side mod that would share map progress with anyone that joined. The internet probably knows more about it than I do.
As for a simple solution, build a cartography table?
OK re-read your post... You don't have to rent a server, you can host your own for pretty cheap. Pretty sure a raspberry pi can host a Valheim server. Or any old PC you have laying around. Worth a shot.
I pay $35 for 3 months on g-portal. Not really very expensive.

The concept of peer to peer and multiple people having access to the same files is a bit of a nasty rabbit hole to start digging with more and more users accessing..as cfs111 said set up a networked pc as a Server. have it on during specific hours (ie 23 hours a day so it can be backed up etc) and share the same world files in real time to anyone logged on.. just needs a good reliable internet connection. zero wiz bang graphics cos thats all client side stuff (edit :oh it doesnt even need screen or keys once its set up either)

If you have an older 2nd computer you can set up a server yourself. That is what I did. GPU does not matter for a server as the server does not create any graphics locally, it is simply used for transfer of data.
