Create a new database - Allow to save on OneDrive

Summary

Create a new database doesn't offer a OneDrive location to save it

Motivation

We use Microsoft OneDrive as our cloud storage, not Google Drive. Our KDBX file is synchronized bettween our PC and mobile via OneDrive. Actually, whe we create the database from a PC, we can store it on our OneDrive. When we use OneKeePass mobile we can open an "existing database" while browsing OneDrive also... Then we can use a KDBX coming from OneDrive !

The OneKeePass mobile application, in "open an existing database" allow us to navigate local drive, Google Drive, Microsoft OneDrive without problem.

The OneKeePass mobile application in "create a new database" doesn't allow us to navigate through Microsoft OneDrive, but it allow to navigate through local drive and Google Drive... It miss something to browse properly the cloud locations. Then. it's impossible for us to create a new database from mobile device if we would use it from OneDrive location.

Considered Alternatives

The onliest method to make a workaround it to save the KDBX locally on mobile drive, the from internal file manager copy/share the database on OneDrive, delete local copy manually, re-launch OneKeePass, remove the database from history list, open an existing database from OneDrive location. Or request to our users to create their database from Windows PC first. It's not a easy way for all users...

Anything else?

Hi @ggbce ,

Thanks for reporting the issue.

It looks like the problem is with OneDrive app not integrating properly with android's File Manager. Because of this, it does not show up as a location in "Save To". We cannot do much in OneKeePass on this unless OneDrive app integrates properly to the file app like Dropbox or Google Drive has done

Meantime I will try to figure out any alternative solution is available so that we can create new database on the OneDrive location

Not in goal to name other vault solution, but I observe it's possible to create a new database on OneDrive using Keepass2Android.

Hi @ggbce ,

Keepass2Android uses OneDrive api directly to access files and folders using OAuth. However if you use their "System File Picker" option, you will see the same problem.

If we can use OneDrive api without any fee, then I will try to add that feature in some later release and that will fix all these issues

Thanks

Im not sure the difference between both method, but in my case we are using OneDrive Professionnal linked with Azure/M365 tenant. Obtenir Outlook pour Android<https://aka.ms/AAb9ysg>

P.S. KeePass2Android is compatible with OneDrive Enterprise. The if the same API is possible, you will get technically the same possibilities.
