How can I sync native Thunderbird tasks between multiple PCs?

I like Thunderbird's native task manager. I do not use Google Tasks or any other 3rd party task manager. How can I keep my Thunderbird tasks in sync between 2 or more PCs? Is there something similar to Firefox Sync for Thunderbird? Is there an Add On which does this? Is there a file in the Thunderbird profile folder which contains all the task information which I can sync using a 3rd party program e.g. Dropbox, OneDrive?

Wait, I just realized the task manager is part of Lightning Calendar. But my question is the same: how to keep the tasks synced between PCs.

The usual approach is to sync Google tasks with Lightning.

Unfortunately Google Tasks is not a very effective task manager.

In the alternative, how do I create recurring tasks and date/time reminders for Google Tasks? Is that even possible?

If not then it's back to the original question: how can I sync Lightning tasks between 2 PCs? Can it be done by syncing a file using OneDrive?
