skylark Posted January 3, 2019 Report Posted January 3, 2019 I'm a new trial user of Enpass and used my public gmail account's Google Drive to test syncing across my tower Win10 PC, my Win10 Laptop and my android S8 phone. (Public gmail account meaning the gmail account I use to access many forums.) Now that I decided that I want to use Enpass as my permanent password manager, I want to change my Google Drive account to my private gmail account. But I can't see how to do that in Enpass. When I go to TOOLS in Enpass, I only see "Sync Now" but no way to change the sync account. (I'm running Enpass 6.0.0 (230) on my two Win10 PCs.) What's the procedure for changing the Google Drive account used for syncing? Thanks.
skylark Posted January 4, 2019 Author Report Posted January 4, 2019 (edited) I found that by going: Menu > Settings > Vaults > Primary that under "Synchronize" my Google Drive account for my public gmail address was listed. I clicked disconnect and then it allowed setting up a new Google Drive under my private gmail address so I did that. Now Enpass shows my private gmail address for Google Drive and it says "Last synchronized: a few seconds ago" which looked good. But when I open Google Drive for my private gmail account, it does not show the "sync_default.walletx" file in the root directory like my public gmail Google Drive does. QUESTIONS: 1. How can Enpass say "Last synchronized: a few seconds ago" when there is no "sync_default.walletx" file in the root directory of my private gmail Google Drive? 2. How can I get Enpass to store the "sync_default.walletx" file in my private gmail Google Drive? Edited January 4, 2019 by skylark
Vinod Kumar Posted January 4, 2019 Report Posted January 4, 2019 Hi @skylark, Enpass 6 stores its data in a different place called App folder. You can't see this folder (blame Google for that). However, you can see data size by visiting Google Drive in a web browser and go to Settings(gear icon on top right)->Manage Apps. Cheers:) 1
skylark Posted January 4, 2019 Author Report Posted January 4, 2019 Hi Vinod, Thank you for your quick response. I did what you said and yes, I do see "Enpass - Hidden app data: 80 KB". In a way, now that you pointed out how it works, I kinda like that the data is hidden. That much more security. Thanks again, Skylark
Twisted Posted January 6, 2019 Report Posted January 6, 2019 (edited) Is this the same for iCloud? I can no longer see my iCloud folder. Edited January 6, 2019 by Twisted
Vinod Kumar Posted January 8, 2019 Report Posted January 8, 2019 @Twisted Yes, it is same for iCloud. Because we are using CloudKit API now to support iCloud sync on non Apple platforms as well.
skylark Posted January 13, 2019 Author Report Posted January 13, 2019 OK, now I have another question about the hidden Enpass database on Google Drive. 1. How can I download a copy to save a copy as backup? Thanks, Skylark
bean545 Posted January 17, 2019 Report Posted January 17, 2019 I am also facing issue with my Gmail account, actually, I am getting Gmail error 007 while accessing my Gmail account and can't able to find out the valid solution to solve this kind of Gmail error. Can anyone have the idea about this kind of error? Let me know, let me know, please.
NordicNorm Posted August 20, 2019 Report Posted August 20, 2019 I am also having this problem on my phone. Oddly, WiFi tethered PC and an older phone without cellular service both synch. This means when I'm out with my cell phone I can't use Enpass because the local database is old with now superceded passwords. Please, how to fix this?
