That's how I use KeePassXC. I put the .kdbx file in Seafile, and have it on all my devices. Works like a charm.

I think that is, because KeepassXC has the logic to deal with a database file changing while having that file opened. Yes, can confirm, this works nicely.

Yeah but does it solves conflict for you?

I used KeePassXC with syncthing over my laptop/server/phone and frequently get sync conflicts. Unlike with some files though these are very easy to resolve by hand as there's an option to merge in another file, after which you can delete it.
