Why would you need to run the Dropbox client to sync your passwords? Shouldn't the password manager client be able to talk to the service directly?
I don't have an iCloud client installed on my devices (well, other than whatever is built into Apple devices) but Enpass just uses their APIs to sync passwords. Occasionally I have to reauthenticate on one of my machines but it tells me as soon as it loses access. Previously I synced it over Google Drive and I never installed a Google Drive client either.

- hbn 4y agoI'm not sure why you think this is that difficult of a task. This is standard fare for how clients integrate with a service. There's how many third party Twitter and Reddit clients out there, plenty made by a single person that just communicates with a public API made for integration. You can spin up a Discord bot in a few minutes. Why is this any different for syncing a file over an API?
