Syncing with Android (self.keepass)

What is the best method to sync with android? I've been using the keepass2android app, but this thread got me thinking that this may not be the best method. Thanks for any help!

Also, side questions: Any feedback on KeePass vs. KeePassXC?

I'll need to look more into KeePassXC. I don't mind the barebones UI in KeePass, but my wife certainly does, so getting something a bit more polished looking could be nice.

I'm very intrigued by syncthing. Presently, I just encrypt and sync through dropbox. Is syncthing significantly more user-friendly? Or is it more secure if my current method is poor?

Thanks for your help! Also thanks for setting up the community!

Well Syncthing requires some set-up, but it's pretty simple. Basically, you just need to make sure that it constantly runs on all devices, but there are plenty of guides online that help you set up auto-execute. Dropbox works just fine, and since your KeePass database is encrypted, it's not a big deal. I'm just the kind of person that likes layers of security, even though it's probably overkill 🤣
