Yes I've been using DAVx⁵ for many years to sync my Synology Calendar to my phone via WebDAV and my contacts via CardDAV. Any concerns you have?
can i also use webdav in DavX to sync files for my keepass db?
If you have a dropbox-like service, such as Synology Drive, you can put the file on the replicated volume to get the same effect.
I use synology drive, but I have it locked down so I can only sync when I'm on my local network or I activate my personal VPN remotely.
I see. Somehow I missed your first edit with that information. It does not seem like that's an option given the response on the GitHub discussions: https://github.com/bitfireAT/davx5-ose/discussions/318#discussioncomment-5814992
They suggest:
creating a Tasker automation, or use an specialized application for synchronization like Syncthing or FolderSync for example.
Apparently there's also the option to use NextCloud and their app if you want to go that route like someone else suggested.
Sorry, but I use davx5 and sync with contacts and calendar with nextcloud
ah I think they are suggesting Tasker if user wants to autocopy new files (e.g. say an image after taking a pic) to the WebDav folder. This is not what I plan to do as I will already place the keepass file to the webdav folder.
My question about DavX is if it has WebDav feature (which looks like it has) and works correctly to sync files in the specified folder? I don't see any webdav apps in Fdroid other than DavX.
Yes! It works perfectly, you can have Google and non-Google accounts there.
thanks for the feedback
There’s WebDAV modules for all major web servers. Just use whatever web server you’re more familiar with configuring.
There’s probably Docker images about, ready to go with WebDAV, to save time.
Op is asking for an app for Android
Keepass2Android supports fetching the database over WebDAV. It's not on F-Droid though.
Keepass2Android
that's sad no progress for an fdroid app, but i think this is fine as long as webdav is supported
There are plenty. I use nextcloud
do you experience any merge conflicts with nextcloud like what some users have reported?
no, but i also don't use keepass anymore 😆 in the thread its mentioned that the android app might be to fault for that, directly using webdav should work
