What is the best method to sync with android? I’ve been using the keepass2android app, but this thread got me thinking that this may not be the best method. Thanks for any help!
Also, side questions: Any feedback on KeePass vs. KeePassXC?

So my understanding is nextcloud is like Dropbox, except you self-host it on a nas or something similar. Is that true? Then Webdav is just the way to manage those files?
How much effort is self-hosting something? I was thinking of getting a nas for prime day, but not sure of the effort involved.
Yes its like Dropbox but self hosted. It also provides a number of other features but for the sake of simplicity well only think about the file sync.
WebDAV is just a way to talk to nextcloud over http to send and receive data. Keepass2Android supports WebDAV, thus I use that to manage the syncing of my database.
The effort to self host is…well its just subjective. I’ve been doing this for a long time and my profession directly applies to these things so for myself I don’t consider it much of an effort. If you are starting from zero though there will definitely be a lot to learn.
I don’t use a bought NAS but you can certainly do so. I have some experience with the Synology devices and they seem OK but I don’t know what its like running different third party services like nextcloud on it so you’d want to read up.
I host everything on systems I’ve built. My home server is just some old desktop hardware that I put into an supermicro tower chassis. My main server is colocated at a data center which I also built from eBay parts and put into a 2u 12 bay supermicro chassis.
So you don’t have to buy some nas to get started, just need some PC hardware.
