Syncing and accessing Enpass data across devices
Enpass data can be synced across all your devices without sending any data to the Enpass server. There are three ways to sync your data between devices: via any of the supported cloud services, directly between devices over Wi-Fi, or via Folder sync.
Syncing data via supported cloud-storage services
Syncing your data through a cloud service keeps your devices up to date with each other even when they're not in the same place.
Enpass supports the following cloud services:
- Dropbox
- Google Drive
- OneDrive (Personal/Business)
- iCloud
- Box
- WebDAV
- Nextcloud

Cloudless syncing
Enpass can sync all your devices completely offline, using only Wi-Fi instead of third-party services.
Wi-Fi Sync
Wi-Fi sync keeps your Enpass data up-to-date across devices on the same Wi-Fi network.

Folder Sync
Folder sync keeps your encrypted Enpass data backed up to a folder on your drive.

Good to know
Sync timing
Enpass syncs your data:
- Every time the app is unlocked
- Every 15 seconds when the Enpass app is active in the foreground on your mobile device
- Every 10 minutes when the Enpass app is running on your desktop
- Within 5 seconds every time you save a change
Time Stamps
Each sync is time-stamped, and you can check your sync status any time:
- Go to Settings > Vaults, and select the vault you want to check.
- Under the heading Last Synchronized, you will find the time stamp of the most recent sync.
Security of data while syncing with a cloud
When Enpass is set up to sync a vault via a cloud account, the cloud is used only for storage of encrypted data. Enpass does not perform any encryption or decryption on the cloud. To sync and merge changes, Enpass downloads the entire encrypted vault and decrypts it locally, on your device. After completing the sync, Enpass uploads the encrypted vault back to the cloud.
