> My chosen password manager (1password) still has a fairly awful linux experience. This is my biggest roadblock to Linux as well. I don’t sync to 1Password.com though and that’s all that is available, so it’s more than just a poor experience for me. I thought about trying to share a Keepass database but that’s had some issues. I tried sharing via Keybase and had a weird issue that when I edited something in Keepass, it was unreadable in Linux. I didn’t have a problem if I shared it via USB drive though.

I ran 1Password 4.x on WINE successfully for a long while but the browser extensions started breaking so I eventually bit the bullet and switched to Bitwarden (running my own instance with bitwarden_rs). The import wasn't perfect (it doesn't handle attachments or tags), and the browser extension can sometimes be laggy, but so far it's at least worked everywhere I need it, which is more than can be said for 1PW or anything else.

I've been keeping a Keepass database on Dropbox (encrypted with password + key file, neither of which are stored on Dropbox, obviously) for a while, and haven't noticed any issues with syncing. I'm mostly using it from a single device, though, but I don't think it should be likely for the sharing to introduce problems even if I made heavier use of multiple devices. It's not like the database is constantly being modified. This might be a bit of a lazy solution, but it has been working well enough for me.

  I’ve been doing the same for years. It’s also a good cross platform solution since both Dropbox and keypass are available for Mac, windows and Linux.

  I like Keepass but I am looking to drop Dropbox and I need to be able to sync it with mobile as well.

    have you tried syncthing? i have it running on a synology nas that acts as the always-on server part, but i used syncthing just fine for over a year without it as well. you just have to be very conscious about having both devices turned on at the same time so they can sync to each other. you pretty much have to do the same thing with dropbox anyway, i.e. let a large file upload to their server before you turn off your computer

  I've been doing it for years, no issues. And on Android I use Keepass2Android, which also syncs to the same Dropbox folder, it works seamlessly.

It’s the reason I switched to LastPass and then Bitwarden finally.
