How is Dropbox shared folder is a pain in updating copies across cities?

• lxgr 3y ago
  Syncing your password safe to Dropbox is a completely different scenario, with a corresponding different threat model. It may work for some people, but on average, I'd say it's worse than relying on a dedicated/"native" password safe cloud syncing service. In any case, it's certainly not an alternative to a physical offline copy.

    On the contrary, it's very similar - you share a keyfile to your friends in a different city and then you encrypt your password safe with that extra keyfile that hasn't touched Dropbox. This solves the threat model issue while also relieving you of the pain of syncing the password safe (in this case syncing is even more convenient than your same-city-physical-visit model)

      Assuming that the keyfile is only for emergencies: How do you unlock the password safe day to day?

        In a manner much easier than a physical visit: with a double click? (though you don't do it every day, you do it whenever you export bitwarden safe for backup purposes)
