Am 02. Jan, 2018 schwätzte Mark Phillips so:

moin moin Mark,

I sync my files manually. Last I looked KeePassX still didn't have a
viable sync option. A sync tool was probably the plugin I considered.

Missing features include a tool for syncing files, a tool for exporting
password sets and a use anywhere random stringerator.

All easy to work around for an individual, but the sync features would
help a lot of team use.

ciao,

der.hans
