Put the keepass database in a folder and use syncthing to sync that folder.

I just run syncthing on every device that needs my password and they all always have an up to date copy of the database.

What do you use to encrypt the files to begin with? For apps that don't have an encrypted backup option built in.

Keepass encrypts the database with AES-256 by default so there is already a layer of encryption protecting your passwords.

If you use keepass and want to use a third party service to store your files there's a way to setup an untrusted mirror which will encrypt the files before sending it to that client. That way you still have your files elsewhere (often on a VPS, seedbox or other host) but that host doesn't have the unencrypted sync folder just in case you decide to put non-encrypted files in there too.

That's very helpful information, thank you! I'm using bitwarden but looking into switching.

If you use keepass*

I mean if you use syncthing.

Syncthing is what has the ability to set untrusted hosts. You set a password and the files are encrypted with that password before sending it to the untrusted computer.
