What is the best method to sync with android? I’ve been using the keepass2android app, but this thread got me thinking that this may not be the best method. Thanks for any help!

Also, side questions: Any feedback on KeePass vs. KeePassXC?

      I assume you can set-up to sync at whatever frequency? I definitely prefer if it is near real-time (at least within a couple minutes of doing an edit) because I make accounts on my computer and log in on my phone quite frequently.

        If you have Syncthing running, it constantly syncs, so changes go through immediately when you make a change on either device

      How come? Why don’t you just sync the database directly between your phone and PC? If you set up Syncthing to do file versioning, then you pretty much have a backup. That’s how I have mine set up, and I never have to do anything. All my passwords are immediately synced between my devices when I edit the database in either place

        it grew that way. first it only was a backup from pc to nas and now every client pulls from nas. i manually push to nas so nothing get’s lost, and no sync shinanigans happen and every client can mess with that file. that’s just me, i know i could automate it and/or do it different
