PasswdSafe Sync

About this app

PasswdSafe Sync is a PasswdSafe companion app to access files stored in cloud services. Password files are synchronized with Box, Dropbox, Google Drive, and OneDrive.

Start by uploading .psafe3 files to your account using the service's native app or website. PasswdSafe Sync should then sync the files to your phone or tablet.

In Box, the files should be placed in the top folder or any folder tagged with 'passwdsafe' so it shows in a search result.

In Dropbox, individual files can be chosen to synchronize.

In Google Drive, files can be located anywhere.

In OneDrive, individual files can be chosen to synchronize.

Ratings and reviews

Good app to keep PasswordSafe synced up. Works great 75% of the time. Randomly, a couple times a month I'll get "repeated sync failure" due to a network error. This can be fixed by opening the app and manually forcing a sync so it's not a huge issue but, why is this occuring? Does this happen when my cell signal is bad? Is my carrier signal randomly crashing at just the right time to cause the error? I haven't found the correlation yet.

This is a well written, easy to use utility. I've been using it for at least 15 years. It easily syncs between your windows computer and your android phone (also works with iPhones but costs money). It sticks to it's knitting (it does password management really well and doesn't try to do other things). You can categorize your accounts, you can search, you can specify password difficulty on a site by site basis of you want.

Excellent password safe, with strong encryption if you use a long passphrase, and code available for independent verification. This companion Sync app has network access to sync with e.g. DropBox etc, but does not have the key -- so it can backup your encrypted password file(s) for you, but cannot see the passwords, so it also cannot steal or give them away. The main PasswdSafe app knows the key but has no Android network access permissions -- so it can access your passwords for you, but cannot steal them or give them away.
