I use Keepass2 for my work.  I don't trust keeping my DB online, so I have
it on a USB drive.  I can insert the USB drive into any computer that has
Keepass2 installed, including my Android cell phone.  I use an OTG USB
cable to allow me to mount the USB drive to the Android phone.  My only
issue with synchronization is in timeliness with copying my DB to a backup
USB device.  My wife uses the same process, so I occasionally have to sync
her DB to mine (and the reverse, of course).  Keepass2 has made it easier
to sync the independent DB's.
