Is there a way to have your wallet or multiple machines if you use the official bitcoin wallet? I am assuming no unless you have any online wallet as well.

Thanks in advance

I don't think so.

I just keep a cold storage of mine. I go get the HDD once a week or so to double check all the transactions followed through.

You can move wallet.dat between machines easily enough.

They are all going to have to sync up the blockchain independently though unless you run it off a USB drive or something similar with the working directory pointed to that shared location.

Just remember that every place you put wallet.dat is another place where someone can steal your coin.

For a better solution check out the Armory client (there is a sub-forum here) which lets you create a read-only copy of the wallet (without private keys). This way even if someone steals it or your computer is compromised you haven't lost anything.
