I spent HOURS trying to figure out how to get the file to be detected... but everything I've found is always about Google Drive...
Well here, hopefully someone will see this!
The app itself is clunky but gets the job done. Its not very pleasing to look at when interacting with it either... But oh well, again it gets the job done. It gives zero feedback to if anything is working in terms of linking a database file... You just tick a slider, it'll ask for your permission, and then..... nothing.... you have no way to know if it worked. No error if it doesn't, and no 'success!' when it works. You just gotta click up there on that tiny icon and wonder 'is it working?'.
Well, if you don't see your database file instantly up there, then no, its not working. So go check to make sure you have a shareable link with full permissions on it.... otherwise it apparently will never show up...

posted 6 years agoHello! Thanks for the review, particularly the complaint about feedback after authorization.
For anyone reading, the part about needing to to create a sharable link is mostly incorrect. You shouldn't need to do anything for tusk to recognize your keepass database other than name it ending with .kdbx
However, the collective experience is that the OneDrive API is very unreliable, to the point that I am considering removing support for OneDrive. Here's what happened:
Tusk: Hey OneDrive, do you have any files with with the extension kdbx?
OneDrive: Nope!
* you shuffled some options around, inadvertently causing OneDrive to discover the file. It should have worked the first time.*
Tusk: Hey OneDrive, how about now?
OneDrive: Yes! Here they are.
I'll make a note of this, since apparently creating a sharable link causes stale indexes to get updated or something like that. Thanks again.
