I’m a little put off by the login and service. It’s just one more thing that can be shut down. Especially since iOS and android allow syncing on remote services such as dropbox and iCloud (how it works in 1Password ver 6 and below). There’s really no necessary need for a centralize service. Create the encrypted vault in your preferred cloud storage service and locally and sync across all devices.

You can always self host if you're worried about that

Bitwarden can be self hosted and has apps for all the things.

  I’m not really looking to self host, just sync with an vault File via Dropbox, drive, iCloud etc.

Just self host and there is no thing like "can be shut down"

You are right. Yet hosting an encrypted 10kb for each user means that even if Bitwarden had a million free users it'd need no more than 10GB of cloud space to store all data. Consider syncing at startup or on adding new entries and the number of requests is also negligible. Not really a service that the company would ever had to cut to save money. What makes you so sure that dropbox and icloud will never be shut down?

I use codebook which allows syncing directly between devices, to a local folder, to Google Drive, or to Dropbox. It doesn’t have Linux support though. I’ve been really happy with it, and it’s a one-time cost (per device though). The company who makes it also makes an open source encryption layer for SQLite. https://www.zetetic.net/codebook/ https://www.zetetic.net/codebook/
