It seems that the PREFECT_HOME environment variable specifies the local Prefect directory for configuration files, profiles, and the location of the default Prefect SQLite database. By default, it's set to
~/.prefect
on your system (source).
While there isn't explicit information about setting PREFECT_HOME to a shared drive location, you should be able to change the value of PREFECT_HOME to point to a shared drive location. Just make sure that the shared drive is accessible and has the appropriate permissions for Prefect to read and write files.
Remember, with great power comes great responsibility... to manage shared drive locations.
