Is it possible to use a SQLite database in a shared folder in a PC?

Question

I am developing an UWP application (Windows phone 10) and I have a SQLite database in a shared folder in a PC in my LAN. I would like to know if I can use this database in the windows phone app, like I do with my WPF application, that I can set the path of the database and I can use it from any computer in my lan.

Thanks.

Short answer:
Yes you can however you will need to be careful about the journaling mode you choose for example WAL does not work over a network file system.

Long answer:
If you see yourself in a situation where many clients/programs need to access a common database over a network you should consider a client/server database or provide an API of some sort that would sequentially persist the client's data to the SQLite DB.
