I think so, but I have not tested that. It should be compatible if they 
are the KeePassXC variant.


The way I do it is, first run the merge on computer A from B, and then B 
from A. That is, I run it on both computers.

On computer A the file I name KeepPassComputerA.kdbx, and on B computer 
it is KeepPassComputerB.kdbx

Then you either share the directory via network, or copy the file over 
from the other computers, and run merge from them, one by one. And you 
repeat on every computer, both directions.

And possibly, you have to copy the files one more time and repeat the 
operation - not sure. Maybe someone can design a better strategy ;-)


Merge is only done, AFAIK, on one computer from another, one direction 
only.

A bit pedestrian, but I'm not putting my password file on internet.
