  I use Syncthing to keep my Keepass files synchronized on my devices. All the benefits of cloud storage, but my password file never leaves my control.

    Great idea! I rely on Firefox’s service, would you recommend I switch?

      Personally I don’t like to rely on anyone’s cloud services for mission critical applications like password storage, since they have a history of being discontinued without notice.

      I do trust Mozilla a lot more than Google, though.

      With Syncthing at least if the discovery servers go down you still have a local copy as well as off-site backups, and can easily migrate to some other sync solution as your password manager is not tied to your browser.

        I would argue that email is similarly as critical, yet Selfhosting email is a bad idea practically and from a security standpoint. Your argument does not apply in general.
