Why and how to sync a KeePass database to the cloud

Lately a lot of us have been working from home, and as a remote-first company, the Daycast team can offer some lessons-learned in this area. One common issue is how to keep password data current, secure, and available in multiple locations. We can help. Our first tip is to use the popular KeePass password manager—it’s free! Next, sync your password database to the cloud. This allows you to keep multiple copies of it—on more than one of your own devices, for example, or on multiple team members’ devices—while still ensuring that it stays up to date. If you change your email password, for instance, do you then have to manually update every copy of your KeePass database? Not if you sync it to the cloud, you don’t.

Using Dropbox, Google Drive, or OneDrive, you can merge changes made in any copy of your KeePass database to all the other copies. Here’s how.
