I have have been using KeepassDX and KeepassXC for sometime now, and im loving it, but having to manually transfer the DB from device to device, was becoming a litle of a pain, so i tought, wuat if i add a keyfile to my DB and add it to my onedrive the DB, and transfer and store locally the keyfille in every device + some USB dongles.
But then something occured to me if because of some disaster i loose acess to the devices and the keyfile is lost, so next i dea was, since i havecryptomator, i would also add the keyfile to my onedrive but in cryptomator vault, what do you guys think.
Sry for kinda bad english tho.
I dont see the harm in that, considering you still need a password to open the .kdbx file. It should be a long 8+ passphrase with numbers and symbols.
You can drop the keyfile, IMHO
Be aware of conditions that can cause issues with sync, like 2 databases open, both saving a different credential.
You do lose some anonymity with your synchronization with online clouds but it should be fine. I have not used Proton Drive but they should provide more peace of mind that less shenanigans could be happening, but do be warned that does not give you anonymity like on OneDrive.
then, maybe i will keep it all local anyway then, maybe i will do a litle raspeberry server with syncthing at home with the only objective be to sync the db on my local network onlywith syncthing, i just tought that the keyfile would increase the security since i would let it go raw to the onedrive, and yes my password is big enought, thx for the opinion tho.
