### 3/5 — Great product

*2020-07-18, version 2.0.8*

This very helpful product allows for the organization of passwords into categories and sub-categories, the creation of entries for passwords and to assign them icons, urls, descriptions and notes. It comes with many features that are not even available in "paid" products. It has been stable for the past 6 years I have used this product.

I set my rating to 3 stars, as this only works with dropbox who have changed their policy to limit the number of connections unless you pay. Since I already pay for other data cloud services, it would be extremely helpful if you could select from one of these as well, such as Google Drive, OneDrive or iCloud. It would also be really awesome if it would allow for more icons, perhaps from what the iOS provides (the icon issue is only a little thing, not really needed, but would be nice).

Other than that, great app, thanks!

### 2/5 — Please Could You Add Drive Support

*2018-01-19, version 2.0.8*

I would really like to use this app but I use Google Drive to sync databases :(

TouchID support for masterpassword would make this app #1

### 3/5 — Needs improvement

*2017-10-11, version 2.0.1*

It's worked fine a few weeks ago but now I can't edit my info.

### 2/5 — Good app

*2017-10-03, version 2.0.1*

App does what it says but after iOS 11.0.1 I’m getting “Dropbox Error 1v_error” when adding a database.

### 1/5 — No longer works!

*2017-09-30, version 2.0.1*

Have used and loved for a long time. Now getting error v1_retired message and cannot open database. Please advise asap.

### 1/5 — Still doesn't load all data

*2017-09-30, version 2.0.1*

Have installed this updated app twice now.

Each time, I have found that it is only reading parts of the source databases, rather than all entries. This leaves data hidden or missing, and unable to be accessed or read.

Tried rebuilding source DBs, and renaming them, all to no avail. 

Please give us continued access to Passdrop 1 until these problems are rectified.

### 1/5 — Incomplete Databases

*2017-09-16, version 2.0.1*

Sadly, a step backwards from the original PassDrop app.

PassDrop 2 does not sync properly with DropBox database. Not all entries appear in the new app. Some that don't appear can be found using the Search function, and others can't.

This major failure needs to be addressed urgently.

### 4/5 — Some groups on desktop don't show in app

*2017-08-19, version 2.0.1*

It's great that the developer has taken up the mantle of sustaining this very useful app. It opens my keypass file, but a couple of the groups don't show, even when I re-make them, and I can't for the life of me see the sync button to select which version iPad or Dropbox should be kept.
(Edit 19/08. I've found the sync button! It is where it should be, but it's only visible when the app is displayed in portrait mode.)

### 1/5 — Dropbox integration doesn't work

*2017-07-13, version 2.0.1*

I wasn't able to get the Dropbox integration working since auth using google. Review didn't reflect the rest of app since I was unable to sync

### 3/5 — Good useful app needs more FAQs

*2017-05-12, version 2.0.1*

Was looking for an mac keepassx v1 iphone dropbox sync, well happy to see this. Got it opened it couldn't verify password. Changed datasbase to purely password only, not key file which is recommended. Still no joy! Finally checked my keepassx v1 which was 0.4.3 build and latest is 0.4.4 so updated this and kerching it worked. Like the app developer needs to add a few more FAQs to the list me thinks.

### 1/5 — Dropbox connection

*2023-09-04, version 2.0.8*

doesn’t work at all.

### 1/5 — Cannot edit

*2022-02-25, version 2.0.8*

Nice simple app, but does not allow you to edit entries. Read only🤦‍♂️

### 1/5 — Problem

*2020-12-07, version 2.0.8*

Przestał działać :(
iOS 12+
7.12.2020

### 1/5 — Nie działa

*2020-11-24, version 2.0.8*

Program wymaga udostępnienia dostępu do Dropbox. To pierwszy problem. Niestety pomimo tego program nie działa. 
Próba uruchomienia pliku zapisanego w MiniKeePass nie powiodła się.

### 1/5 — Anything but secure

*2020-04-26, version 2.0.8*

First thing when initially starting the app: You'd be obliged to link your Dropbox account.
Succumbing your most sensitiv data to Dropbox means anything but security.
My personal NAS at home is the one and only accepted cloud for my password database. 
Once PassDrop 2 would offer the solution to use your personal NAS I might review my judgement for this app.

### 1/5 — Not working

*2018-03-20, version 2.0.8*

Will not load Dropbox database
No keepass 2 support

### 1/5 — Does not work with iOS 11.0.2

*2017-10-06, version 2.0.1*

Getting the same error as everyone else about v1 retired

### 1/5 — App does not work. Can’t add database

*2017-10-04, version 2.0.1*

Error - Dropbox error v1_retired
Please fix it.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t appear to work with IOS 11 Dropbox

*2017-10-02, version 2.0.1*

I’m getting errors from the application when connecting to Dropbox the message “v1_retired” appears.

### 1/5 — no Dropbox synch since API v1 is swiched off

*2017-10-02, version 2.0.1*

Will we get a new and working Version soon?

### 5/5 — Dropbox workshop :-)

*2017-10-16, version 2.0.2*

Please a new version that works with Dropbox.
Yessss - thank you!

### 5/5 — Updated and Wonderful

*2017-10-14, version 2.0.2*

The dreaded [DROPBOX ERROR / v1_retired] has been fixed. Relief!!
PassDrop is one of my most used apps. I have depended on it to synch my database of IDs and passwords among all devices for years. Critical to security and access to hundreds of accounts and sites. I could not function online without it. 
Thanks, Chad, for creating this new version that works with ios 11.

### 5/5 — Good, reliable and safe till today..

*2017-10-13, version 2.0.2*

PassDrop updated its interface to support the new DropBox API v2 within a week. For me this the most handy tool to access my KeePassX password database stored on DropBox.

### 5/5 — v1_retired error explanation

*2017-10-11, version 2.0.1*

This application uses the old v1 Dropbox API to talk to Dropbox.  Dropbox has turned that API off as of 27 September 2017, so this application can no longer talk to Dropbox.

The application has to be updated to talk to the new Dropbox v2 APIs before it will work again.

The owner of the app is working on this, please be patient.

### 5/5 — iOS 11 savior

*2017-09-26, version 2.0.1*

Thank you Chad Austin for making PassDrop compatible with iOS 11.  I have used KeePass and PassDrop for many years.  When IOS 11 would not let me open the old PassDrop app, I figured I was in for a hassle but PassDrop 2 saved the day.  If you currently are not using it, try it out!

### 5/5 — I like it. I wanted it. I'm happy.

*2017-09-22, version 2.0.1*

Thank you! Chad Austin, for creating this app for iOS 11 compatibility. I have used KeePass and PassDrop for years. I did not want to change my password app or pc software. I was dreading iOS 11 just because the PassDrop app would no longer be functional. I just downloaded it today so I haven't really had time to notice any issues. It seemed to sync just fine to my existing database in Dropbox and I haven't noticed any missing data yet. Only thing I can't find is a way to donate to express my gratitude. So you get this review :)

### 5/5 — Thanks for updating this :)

*2017-07-23, version 2.0.1*

Was wondering what I was going to do Since 1.x wasn't going to work with iOS 11. Thanks for updating and releasing this :)

### 5/5 — Love PassDrop!!!

*2017-06-22, version 2.0.1*

Thanks Chad for creating an updated version of this indispenable app! 

I highly recommend this app to EVERYONE in this age of identity theft and computer hacking. 

I started using KeePass about 12 years ago on my pc after my bank account got hacked. Then discovered PassDrop for my iPhone, which works seamlessly with KeePass and syncs through DropBox. Recently I had been getting messages when opening the app on my phone, saying the developer needed to update, or the app would stop working...

Enter Chad Austin! Now we have PassDrop 2 and it works great! Very happy:)

Just one question Chad...How do you organize and move folders/files to different locations? Is it something I can do on my phone, or is it done somehow on my pc? In either case I don't have a clue how to go about it.

Thanks again Chad! :)

### 4/5 — Works great

*2017-11-03, version 2.0.8*

Thanks for the recent Dropbox fix.  I can now open my KeyPass v1 files again!

The only thing I see is a small rendering issue ... landscape mode on an iPad is not full screen - it seems to be stuck in portrait mode.

### 4/5 — Version 2 was working, now v1_retired error

*2017-10-01, version 2.0.1*

I love this app. I installed PassDrop 2 after I upgraded to iOS 11 and it worked fine. However, as of today, I’m also receiving the “v1_retired” error message. Running 11.0.1. Please help!
