   I use Keepass2 on Windows, Keepassx2 on Linux and Keepass2 droid   
    on Android.   
      
   I normally  use WebDAV based cloud storage for cloud-local syncing   
    ( at record level) kbdx PW db,   
   as Windows and Android application  support it ( the Linux one   
    does not, but there is a community version fork that   
    does.   
      
   If not to be cloud based, I was used to emailing the DB ( that is   
    natively well encrypted itself) and syncing against the local   
    files.   
      
   One could be able to sync or access wifi LAN shares, or pass files   
    via BT as well. I have not study all available channels for   
    it.   
      
   The syncing is important feature, as there is no need to have a   
    master copy, changes can be done simultaneously in any dB   
    instance, updates are then reconciliation during the sync. Of   
    course, it is better not to try the lack to change the same   
    record. The good thing is db is keeping history records, so if by   
    an accident the still valid PW is already overwritten by a new   
    but not yet valid one, the true one is still available.
