What kind of synchronization? Keeping the database in Nextcloud/Dropbox should work fine.



Interesting... that actually works fine? What happens if you make an edit to your password database on your phone, and then make another independent edit on your PC, and then they both get a chance to synchronize? Do they both persist, or do you lose one?


I can't honestly remember, it either lets you choose which file to keep or creates a copy. Might be that Dropbox and Nextcloud even behave differently. If I edit the file on mobile, I make a point of triggering the synchronization right after to avoid the problem.

If you're on Android, Keepass2Android [1] is an excellent app that implements the input with a special keyboard. This avoids risking your password via the clipboard. It even comes with a no-network-permission version!

I use Dropbox. I haven't actually tried that case since I rarely change my database from my phone. That said, I have had conflicts between two computers, but KeePassXC's built-in merge tool have fixed those nicely.
