how to open a db from dropbox?

twsouthwick commented 7 years ago

Once you install the app, it should be an option in the file picker. Are you using it on mobile or desktop?

Do you have the dropbox app installed or are you using the sync? Can you give me some repro steps?

I dont have any drop box installed, I was thinking to use your app with a direct connection like KeeCloud.

Got it. Windows 10 provides the concept of file providers, so the app hooks into that by just opening a file, and the DropBox app will provide the rest. On desktop Windows, I'd recommend installing the Dropbox sync client. There are still some bugs to work out with the file pickers.

There are two benefits to doing it this way:

  1. KeePassWin has no access to the internet and I plan to keep it that way to keep trust in the application that I'm not collecting any information.

  2. I don't need to implement anything special to support arbitrary file sources. This allows anyone to add a file from anything that is exposed as a "file"

I'm going to close this for now, but if you find trouble with connecting to a file via the file picker, please reopen.
