I’m trying to sync a KeePassXC database between my Android phone and my Manjaro Linux system. I want full two-way sync of changes, but I don’t want deletions on one device to remove the file on the other. What’s the best way to configure this? Tools like Syncthing seem close, but I’m not sure which folder settings or ignore rules would prevent deletion sync while still keeping both sides updated. Any guidance or examples would help. Thanks!

    This is the cost of offline password managers. You can’t do this at a file level, there is no way for a sync protocol to merge changes from two files. I say this having suffered thanks of a couple passwords from this exact scenario.

    You either need to exercise diligence in only adding passwords at one place, or run a “real” db-based password manager.
