KeePass 2.x favorite triggers for saving and syncing
Raw
README.md
  1. If the file %HOME%/Nextcloud/keepass/{DB_NAME}[^1][^2] does not exist, then it exports the db there to create a new file
  2. If the file %HOME%/Nextcloud/keepass/{DB_NAME}[^1][^2] does exist, then it synchronizes the current database with that file

This way you don't have to worry about saving or moving around copies into your synced storage, and the normal sync trigger won't error out on a file that does not exist

The first trigger, Save new if file doesn't exist turns off the following Sync if file exists trigger to avoid a loop, the third trigger turns the sync trigger back on so that on any subsequent saves, it sync to the file as well.

[1]: %HOME% in keepass expands to $HOME on linux - might expand to %HOME% on Windows, too.
[2]: {DB_NAME} in keepass expands to the database's name + extension.

Usage:
  1. Save the XML, and edit any parameters you wish
  2. Copy the text to your clipboard
  3. Triggers -> Tools (button bottom-left) -> Paste Triggers from Clipboard
