How to share Akregator Backend DB across multiple machines?

I'm long using akregator for my feeds and read feeds on several machines. So whenever I launch akregator on a machine I received feeds I already read on another machine before marking them as "unread".

Is there any possibility to share the akregator backend database across multiple machines? I'd like to have feeds I read on machine A to be marked as "read" when I log into another machine B.

I know, this involves some remote storage and some user authentication. But this can be solved by mounting a share (e.g. Google Drive or Dropbox or else) holding the akregator backend files.

I'm thinking of something like this (pseudocode; don't know what's the FEED-DATABASE in akregator):

1. mount user@googledrive: ~/Documents/MyGoogleDrive
2. ln -s ~/.local/share/akregator/FEED-DATABASE ~/Documents/MyGoogleDrive/akregator/FEED-DATABASE

Is this feasible? Or simply nuts?

Cheers

I'm not sure this is possible. You may want to make a backup and see how it goes.
