#Keepass dropbox software

KeePass is a community-developed, free and open-source software (FOSS).

Not quite as easy to use as some password managers.

We can see no advantage whatsoever in using KeePass 1.x unless you need to work with legacy password files. KeePass 1.x is a fundamentally different program which remains maintained primarily for backward compatibility reasons. Please note that this article concerns KeePass 2.x. KeePass supports a selection of plugins that extend its functionality far beyond that of any other password manager. The main downside of this, of course, is that there is no safety net - no third party that can bail you out if you forget your master password! Manually checking the file date on iOS is not an ideal situation, I know, but to me that check is a small price to pay for the greater good of having my account data available on all the platforms I use! And for me, KeePassium is still the way to go on iOS.They are not stored on a centralized database that can be hacked (as commercial password manager ones often are), and only you hold the encryption keys to them.

Of course my Dropbox account is protected with a password, but I don’t think that is what Andrei Popleteev means when he’s writing about “ How to sync KeePassium with Dropbox“. What I can’t say is whether the issue was/is with Files rather than KeePassium or even my internet connection…Īnyway, when it comes to passwords I want to be sure that I’m not missing any information – or worse: I don’t want to overwrite my updated central file with an older version on iPhone! That’s why I currently always check the “last updated on” date of my Dropbox file in Files before opening the file again. Although I must admit that the last few weeks fared better: I haven’t noticed anymore missing syncs lately. I also have had trouble getting the latest version of my file (as changed on Android, for example) onto my iPhone. What is less clear to me, however, is how quickly “Files” notices changes on Dropbox and picks up the latest version of my central KeePass file. Files-the-app is capable of showing files of all kinds on the iOS device, as well as the files on several cloud file systems, like Dropbox.

I like the interface, and it does all I need when I look for account info (you can store more than just passwords there!).īut in order to sync my central file on Dropbox, on iOS the app has to go through the “Files” app from Apple. I wrote earlier about KeePassium, and that is still my app of choice.

On iOS the situation is a little more complicated – at least, that how it feels to me. That last one is a killer feature, and it hasn’t failed me a single time in the years I have been using it. But it does what I need it to do it accepts Dropbox as cloud storage and it will even merge changes from the local version and the Dropbox version when it detects differences between the two during the synchronisation process. I will admit that I made that choice a few years ago, and haven’t checked on its competitors recently (are there competitors of note, by the way?).

On Android my favourite Keepass app is called Keepass2Android. At work, we have no free choice of which application to use to store passwords, but luckily we do have the “official” Keepass Password Safe at our disposal.

I would use Keeweb on a Windows PC as well – if I had one.

to rearrange groups or import lots of account data. This is the application I go to for when I want or need to reorganise the Keepass file, e.g. Despite its name, it gives you a desktop application that natively accesses (and syncs) files on Dropbox. On my Macs as well as on my Xubuntu machines I will use Keeweb.

My setup has been the same since quite a few years now: I have a Keepass file on Dropbox, and I use several different applications and apps on multiple devices to access and update that file.
