Please note: Works only for *.kdb files, not for *kdbx-Files. Attachments are not working. (3GS, FW 3.12).

99 ct is a great offer! Got it from US itunes via ebay US gift card.
Nethertheless great! Keep on developing!

I thought you’d be interested to know that I’ve been able to use my DB from Google Docs, Live Mesh, Amazon S3 and SkyDrive using the SMEStorage service. The way it works is similar to the way it works with Dropbox. You upload your files to one of these clouds (and the service support Rackspace and a load more but I have not tested these) and then you can get a unique link for the file that is not public. You can use this link to access the file from iKeepass. Works a treat !

I am trying to get my Keepass 1.17 database into my iKeepass 1.2. I have tried the steps detailed above using the public folder of dropbox to no avail. I have also tried the creation of a temporary link to a non-public folder as described by a couple posters. None of it has worked.

I input the server fine. There are no complaints. Then I hit “+” to add the file name. I input the file name (I make sure to get all the capitalizations right, but still nothing.

It doesn’t seem that I’m the only person with this problem. Any solution yet?

Update to my previous comment – problem resolved.

Following Jed’s comment above, you can use the iPhone dropbox app to generate yourself a (temporary) link to your .kdb file in its (non-public) home. I tried this method, and it worked on the first try – db opened right up once i entered the password.

Definitely safer and simpler than copying the kdb to a public place.

Same issue here as Philip above – with v1.2 on iPhone 3GS I enter the password, it says it’s opening the database and then nothing. I can’t get off this screen.

subgroups stored under the General folder – previously accessible with v1.0 – are no longer accessible with v1.1. The ‘>’ shown next to an item indicating more content is not available. These have default subgroups such as ‘Windows’, ‘eMail’,'Internet’… I created another folder and moved them there – same behavior. Help!!!!

I am having troubles with opening the database. When I hit open it prompts for password and then it says opening database then nothing. What am I missing? Is there a bug? Please help I have little hair left to pull

From the screenshots, it appears to have the same limitation as the currently available iKeePass — it does not appear to present the notes you create in KeePass. This is a deal breaker for me, as I want to use the product to store more than passwords — it becomes a repository to address lost credit cards, and other items. Without the ability to place retrievable info in the Notes section, the usefulness of the app is effectively reduced to zero.

I’m looking forward to the ver 1.2 of iKeePass, to see if it meets the test, else I’ll be looking to other apps.
