Which is pretty easy with SyncThing. Other services like Dropbox are also fine if you have a sufficiently high entropy password. The danger isn't in the "online", but a third party being able to decrypt your passwords.

That's why you add that binary key file to the mix that you liberally distribute to all your devices. But that you carefully keep far off your sync platform. The danger of a weak password is when a device falls into the wrong hands, a compromised sync platform is much less of a concern (if the file is in the mix).

iOS seems to require some sort of File Provider implementation for syncing, which seems to work anywhere from terrible to mediocre.

But maybe I misunderstand the situation.


It's not

That keeps the whole database file synchronized, sure. But KeePass synchronizes at the level of each entry.
