Keepass2android: Tresorit

[TomMettam]

Please please add support for Tresorit cloud storage on the app!

Tresorit is an ideal partner for secure password storage since it's end-to-end encrypted - meaning even the cloud storage provider doesn't have access to the database.

do they provide any file storage API for Android?

[rassie]

How could one check that? If I select "Open with external app" from keepass2android, I get a separate entry for Tresorit in the sidebar alongside with Dropbox, Google Drive and Keepass2android itself. Is this the right API?

[TomMettam]

They seem to have moved to their own silly "file linking" system which doesn't work with keepass. This is really annoying..

@PhilippC
I thought they had a different API system a few months ago. This is what I found just now, though.

ZeroKit is actually an entirely different product, unfortunately.

Any solution for this yet? It would be really sad if I can't use keepass android with Tresorit for this reason.

[PhilippC]

Android has standard ways of opening files from other apps. The best way would be that Tresorit provides a DocumentProvider (https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/providers/document-provider) which would allow KP2A to access the files through the system file picker. Please contact their support.

Thank you for the feedback.

I will raise the question with Tresorit.

Regards,
Frank

Any movement on this? I literally just opened a Tresorit account due to Dropbox dropping support for various filesystems.

@frankkusel : any reply from them? I'm in the same situation as @mashdot, moving away from Dropbox because of them dropping support for filesystems, and I'm looking at Tresorit as one of the most likely alternatives...

[frankkusel]

I never got a coherent response from Tresorit, so I have moved back to Dropbox in the interim.

[thegeologician]

ok, thanks.

Tresorit sync seems to be working for me now. Here's what I did:

1. Open the Tresorit Android app and navigate to the .kdbx file.
2. Tap on the file to open it. In the "Open As" dialog that appears, select "Other"
3. Select "Keepass2Android" from the list of apps displayed.
4. Any changes made now will be synced to Tresorit's servers.

The slight problem is that Keepass2Android does not retain the access permissions to the file. If I then open the same database from Keepass2Android directly, it will be unable to sync with Tresorit. If I make changes now, I'll need to repeat steps 1 to 3 above, then select Keepass2Android's "Synchronise database..." option to sync those changes.

Hope this contributes some progress here.

Thank you so much @weelillad!
Your solution works fine for me, too and I'm really very happy about it.
It saves me so much time and troubles.
