How is this different from just opening the database from your cloud drive app with KeePassDroid? The main point here is that Keepass2Android will always get the latest version of the database from the cloud when you open the app.

Merge KeePass databaseĪfter you give Keepass2Android access to your cloud drive, you can browse your folders for the KeePass database.

This feature isn’t available for the other cloud drives. You can restrict the password safe app to just one folder on your Dropbox where you store your KeePass database. Keepass2Android has a nice feature that can ease your queasiness a little. The app might contain vulnerabilities that another app could exploit. It is not just that you have to trust the developer of the app. I always feel somewhat queasy when I allow an Android app to access Dropbox. In this case, you might prefer Keepass2Android Offline, which doesn’t support cloud syncing. Of course, you can also store database files locally on your phone. In addition, you can load the KeePass database from a third-party Android app. Keepass2Android supports Dropbox, OneDrive, Google Drive, SFTP (SSH file transfer), FTP, HTTP (WebDav), and HTTPS (WebDav). I recently moved to Keepass2Android, mostly because it allows me to sync the KeePass database with my cloud drive more conveniently. I have been using KeePassDroid, the most popular KeePass-compatible Android app (according to the Google Play statistics), for quite a while. I will cover this topic in my next post.) (Another solution I am currently considering is the use of a master password tool.

I also like that I can always bring my passwords with me and easily access them everywhere in an emergency. Because I currently have 100+ different passwords for different services, no other convenient way exists to manage my passwords. More and more of the services I use on Windows I also need on Android, and vice versa. You might ask, “It isn’t a bit risky to store your password safe in the cloud?” The short answer is “Yes.” The long answer is “Yes indeed!” So why would the security-minded admin want to sync KeePass to the cloud? Well, sometimes you have to take risks if you want to improve your productivity.
