my KeePass database is stored in a folder that is synced with Dropbox between my PC at home and at work. This used to work without problems. If I had made changes at home and wanted to save my database at work, KeePass informed me that the DB had been changed and asked if this should be synchronized.
Since some versions (I don't recall when this started), after KeePass has synchronized the database, it shrinks from ~270 kb to ~110 kb. I can see that some entries have been removed, while others have not.
I have seen http://keepass.info/help/kb/trigger_examples.html#dbsync but don't understand why this should be necessary. This used to work with Dropbox before and KeePass also recognizes the changed database. Therefore, I would like to keep it simple and not use this.
What might be the reason that only parts of my database get lost?

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
The most likely reason is Dropbox has conflicted copies - which is why we suggest the working and sync copies of the database. Check Dropobox for conflicted copies and then use KeePass to sync them with your master database.
Database size can change depending on hardware and .NET version. This is expected.
