What do you use for syncing your password manager between your Android phone and your PC? Apparently Nextcloud doesn’t support two-way syncing on Android for some reason, and Syncthing-Fork is still untrustworthy since the disastrous handover. The AI generated profile picture of researchxxl doesn’t exactly inspire confidence either, neither does his GitHub bio:

Hi! My name is Jonas and I like to use my coding skills from games and modding to continue work on the Syncthing for Android wrapper.

Everything about this person screams vibe coder.

Bitwarden is an alternative, but I don’t like how non-standard it is. It’s cumbersome to manage and backup, meanwhile the KeePass format is just a file that I can backup wherever and however I want and there are many frontends to choose from.

Have you solved this?

    I’m hesitant about OpenCloud. Their parent company is Heinlein Group, whom I know nothing about, nor can I find anything about their reputation. The website uses a lot of marketing fluff, which puts me off already.

      If you’re curious, their GitHib issues and website have a bit more about them: https://github.com/opencloud-eu/opencloud/issues/231

      The Heinlein Group, to which OpenCloud belongs, is probably best known as the operator of the email provider mailbox.org, but also develops OpenTalk, an open source video conferencing solution.

      from heise.de.

      Being the owner of mailbox.org doesn’t mean anything to me, but it’s context. And there’s more info in that GitHub issue’s links.

      My impression is that they know what they’re doing when it comes to production ready software–I share the OPs concerns about the syncthing-fork maintainer–and they have the funding and acumen to stay in business, meaning their software will be maintained.

      I can’t endorse them beyond my own personal opinion though. I don’t have any info beyond what a few hours of digging turned up last time I looked into them.

        This bit from the heise.de article stood out:

        Kiteworks, on the other hand, is less than enthusiastic about – a closed group of developers who are now using the same code in their own company that they already developed under Kiteworks or ownCloud? For Kiteworks, this smells like poaching, so the company is going on the offensive: in an interview with heise online, Kiteworks CEO Jonathan Yaron stated that he intends to sue Peer Heinlein under German and US law: “We love open source, but we won’t let anyone steal from us”.

        facepalm

          Yeah, it seems like ownCloud isn’t happy about some of their developers forking the code and starting a new company.

          For me, that doesn’t really affect my opinion of OpenCloud for my personal use, though.
