I’ve been using Dropbox to sync my KeePass database for years, but I want to switch to Syncthing. My only concern is losing a password due to file versioning. Usually if I have KeePass open on both my phone and PC, there will be a conflict when saving to database, so Dropbox creates a conflicted copy. In some cases that means that I have to merge those databases but I don’t lose the password.

What file versioning option should I be using in Syncthing? Should I be worried about losing a password due to conflicted file?

    I do this and it’s pretty smooth.

    If you conflict by saving in both locations it will sync one as an alternate filename so you don’t lose anything and can resolve it manually.

    I also run it on my NAS, and my NAS folder has versioned backup on it… So even if I do mess it up by deleting it, i can recover it.
