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 use the Simple file versioning on both sides, and since the files are small I tell em to keep like 20 versions.
    It works just like you describe it does with Dropox. If there’s a conflict you get a sync conflict file, then you just open Keepass and ask it to merge the two databases.
