Thanks for your comment!

True, I suppose the encryption would hinder the merge process, although that gave me an idea! You mentioned the KeePass Triggers/API, I wonder if those could be used in order to produce a custom merge plugin for Syncthing (if such a thing exists) that could diff the KeePass DB file after unlocking it via some kind of initialized authentication.

For example, when you login to your account on your OS (start Syncthing on android) systemctl startup command brings up an authentication window to input your KeePass DB password. Upon entering the password it will have the ability to merge changes when a new version comes from Syncthing.

I have some searching to do!
