Be very careful with bisync, it is experimental and perhaps the most fragile part of rclone. Carefully read the limitations[1] and monitor your logs!

I personally use mount, I have never had problems with locking.

Offline nature of KeePassXC introduces two key challenges:

1. Synchronization: How do you keep your database in sync across multiple devices without relying on proprietary cloud clients?

2. Integration: How do you make it seamless to use these passwords in your system and applications (like Git or VS Code)?

This article describes a battle-tested setup that solves both problems using Rclone for synchronization and the Secret Service API for system integration in Linux distributions, specifically those based on Wayland.
