I doubt that. Navigating the sync options and finding one that works with Android phone, iPad and Windows PC was impossible.

Throw in two vault formats (with implications for which sync option can work), and it's a mess.

That was the paid standalone version, not the subscription model (that was when I finally jumped ship).

They had self hosted sync with the old vault format. They removed it when they switched to the new vault format. Dropbox always worked. Now they push their own service.

No, it didn't. I don't remember the details, but the local sync (starting a sync server on the phone) did not work for me with a normal home network, and Dropbox didn't work across all devices, either.

I’ve used 1Password for years.

I would pay more for greater simplicity.
