   Yes. I tested _all_ the password managers, and both of these worked   
   on a passwd.kdbx file which was *copied* from Windows to Android.

   I'm not yet sure what this means since SMBv2/v3 is the "LAN" access.   
   That is, I *first* copy the passwd.kdbx from Windows to Android.   
   Then (and only *after* I copy it), do I load the passwd.kdbx into KP2A.   
      
   Can "KeePass2Android Password Safe" read the passwd.kdbx file   
   located on the Windows share all by itself (i.e., without the SMB client?)?   
      
   How?   
      
   When I start KeePass2Android Password Safe (green), and then press the   
   button named "Open File", it says "Select the Storage Type", where   
   all I see are the following options in KP2A Password Safe   
   (none of which seem to be an SMB share on the home LAN):   
   1. System File Picker (i.e., the Android file system)   
   2. Dropbox (i.e., the Internet)   
   3. Dropbox (KP2A folder) (i.e., the Internet)   
   4. Google Drive (i.e., the Internet)   
   5. OneDrive (i.e., the Internet)   
   6. SFTP (SSH File Transfer) ... well OK ... but then we need an FTP server   
   7. FTP (again, we then need to set up a Windows FTP server)   
   8. HTTP (WebDAV) ... well OK ... that's a different way than SMB shares   
   9. HTTPS (WebDAV) ... same as above conceptually   
   10. OwnCloud (try to set it up on Windows)   
   11. Get from third party app (I have no idea what this means)   
      
   Without setting up a separate server on Windows, I don't see *how* KP2APS   
   (KeePass2 Android Password Safe) can access the passwd.kdbx   
   file which resides in a Windows SMB share.   
      
   Do you?
