That was worded a bit ambiguously then You're not really going to get around having to install "something" to sync your passwords if you want to have your pass

That was worded a bit ambiguously then You're not really going to get around having to install "something" to sync your passwords if you want to have your passwords synced You could use something like Syncthing if you just don't want to trust any company with your data Otherwise, I cant really suggest a solution either

This is obviously wrong; I'm doing literally this with KeePass. I haven't installed anything, and it has a plugin to sync directly with Google Drive that doesn't mess with or care about anything in the rest of the system.

  So then you have installed a Google drive agent, or at least you use the service? That is the problem you're discussing.

    I don't follow you. I use Google Drive, and I don't install additional software on the OS. I just sync with it directly using KeePass. There is no "problem". It works just just fine.

      My understanding of the problem under discussion here is that there are some people who will refuse to use a cloud syncing service, period. Syncing with Google Drive does not get around this constraint, regardless of whether it requires any locally installed software. Additionally, I was not personally aware of any way to "sync directly" other than using the Google Drive desktop client (https://www.google.com/drive/download/ https://www.google.com/drive/download/) and storing the database file in the synced folder. It sounds like you're saying Keepass has some direct integration with Google Drive? All of that said, I am really not invested in this issue - I use multiple cloud sync services and it doesn't bother me.

It sounds like you're saying Keepass has some direct integration with Google Drive? Indeed it has a plugin for this, yeah. That's exactly what I'm saying. https://sourceforge.net/projects/kp-googlesync/ https://sourceforge.net/projects/kp-googlesync/

  Syncthing isn't very intrusive in my experience/opinion. I created a keepass/syncthing directory somewhere inside my home directory, and I told Syncthing to sync only that directory. And the directory only contains the Keepass database plus a few Syncthing log files and such.
