Description

Checks
  • I have read the FAQ section, searched the open issues, and still think this is a new bug.
Describe the bug you encountered:

When I changed the kdbx file on google drive (from a windows computer) then this change is not notified in keepass2android. Neither when I directly selected the file via google drive nor via the file system selection.
I have selected to

  • NO local backup
  • NO database caching
  • Pre-load during password
  • Synchronize after Quick Unlock

After I signed in via Finger print, the app states: No changes detected

When I explicitly select "Synchronize database" then finally the change is notified.

Describe what you expected to happen:

No response

What version of Keepass2Android are you using?

1.14-r4

Which version of Android are you on?

16

Research direction

No source file, test, or entry point is named. Reproduce the Google Drive workflow using Keepass2Android 1.14-r4 on Android 16, changing the kdbx file externally and then unlocking with the stated synchronization settings. Done means the change is detected automatically after fingerprint unlock, without manually selecting “Synchronize database”.
