Synchronization between 3 databases #12898
-
|
Hello, I'm trying to synchronize 3 databases (one on my PC, and 2 others, 1 on two mobile devices). It seems to me that Keeshare is only capable to synchronize with 1 other database, is this the case? Is there any other way to keep the 3 databases at sync? Thanks in advance for your help, Best regards, |

Do the databases need to contain different information? Just synchronize the kdbx file between the three devices if not. |

Hello, thank you for the quick reply :) Not really, but I'm trying to avoid file conflicts, notably with KeepassDX on my phone (and my wife's, the 2nd database). For now it's only me, and I notice several conflicts, and the only way to avoid them is to manually "fusion" the databases before each save, witch is not fluid as workflow, and my wife will never do it. The idea was to have a dedicated database for each device (PC/ phone 1/ phone 2) to avoid this conflicts... EDIT: just editing to say that I really appreciate all effort you guys put into KeepassXC, it's an awesome app 👍 |

You wont avoid file conflicts with keeshare. That is fundamentally a file sync issue. |

No, but with Keeshare I can have a dedicated database for each device, and they will all be in sync. Do you see any other way to have the 3 databases synchronized? Can have the Keeshare between multiple databases be considered as a new feature? |

Keeshare works like this, in a true database sharing scenario: Laptop kdbx <-> keeshare kdbx <-> Mobile kdbx You would sync the keeshare kdbx between devices and each device would merge in the changes to their own local database. You don't use keeshare to spit out copies of your database. You also don't use it as a multi merge tool. That is not what it is designed for. Just use the base kdbx file in those scenarios and name sure your file sync is always working and automatic. I share my kdbx between multiple devices using onedrive for 10 years and have never had a sync conflict. |

Ok, thank you. Just to see if I understand: |

Yes that is it. If you do not intend on modifying the keeshare export on mobile then you can make it an export only share from your primary kdbx. |

Ok, really thank you. The goal is to be able to modify it anywhere, so I'll do an import/ export on the primary one 👍 |
