What if you don't have/want cloud syncing programs installed on your whole system just for the sake of a password manager?

[slmkbh]

What does this have to do with keepassxc? (the community version of keepassx)

[mehrdadn]

It doesn't have built-in syncing, unlike KeePass. So if you want cloud syncing you have to install an entire syncer on your file system just for the sake of that one program. The assumption that everyone has or wants an automatic behind-the-scenes file syncer installed on every system they use the program on is quite a big and incorrect one.

[jlgaddis]

They aren't required. I use KeePassXC and don't use any type of cloud syncing.

[mehrdadn]

No, the question is what if you do want cloud syncing for your passwords (you need to sync with your phone somehow without manually uploading/downloading from a browser every time...), but unable or unwilling to install a background cloud syncer installed on every system you use KeePassXC on. People blindly suggest KeePassXC without realizing not everyone has or wants a cloud syncer installed on their entire system.

That was worded a bit ambiguously then

You're not really going to get around having to install "something" to sync your passwords if you want to have your passwords synced

You could use something like Syncthing if you just don't want to trust any company with your data

Otherwise, I cant really suggest a solution either

Sorry, I hope it's clear now.

Huh? This is obviously wrong; I'm doing literally this with KeePass. I haven't installed anything, and it has a plugin to sync directly with Google Drive that doesn't mess with or care about anything in the rest of the system.

[alanbernstein]

So then you have installed a Google drive agent, or at least you use the service? That is the problem you're discussing.

[mehrdadn]

I don't follow you. I use Google Drive, and I don't install additional software on the OS. I just sync with it directly using KeePass. There is no "problem". It works just just fine.

Syncthing isn't very intrusive in my experience/opinion.

I created a keepass/syncthing directory somewhere inside my home directory, and I told Syncthing to sync only that directory. And the directory only contains the Keepass database plus a few Syncthing log files and such.
