Description
**Question**
We have the same app running on multiple devices entering data into forms.
We would like to synchronize changes in forms on the remote devices to a master tablet.
My team has been doing a conversion to Box -> SON, transport JSON, JSON->BOX, merge.
I wonder why can't we just move the boxes, open them up on the receiving end, merge differences.
We are basically writing stuff to boxes and writing equivalent code to write / read into JSON, and I wonder why not just do it once?
**Version**
Android/ioS
Latest version of flutter and hive.
Thanks,
Ken Nelson

Research direction
The issue names no files or tests. Start by clarifying whether Hive should support moving boxes between Android and iOS devices and what merge or conflict behavior is required, then compare that with the current Box-to-JSON workflow. Done would require an agreed synchronization design and documented supported behavior.
