    I have two .kdbx files that I wish to merge.

    each have different entries and that part is easy because there are no collisions, but I have some entries that are the same (same folder name, same entry).

    Essentially I had one copy on a USB drive that I made entries to and another copy on my desktop that I made entries to and now I want to merge them.

    How would this be accomplished?

      Hi,

      (if you still need this) you can "merge" two kdbx databases via drag and drop:

      • open the two datases (A and B) in KeePassX
      • select (one or more) items from file A, drag them other to file B and drop them in the folder (group) you want.

      Tested with KeePassX 2.0 on Windows 10.

    Synchronize the two .kdbx files.  For the a description of what will happen and the requirements for synchronization see http://keepass.info/help/v2/sync.html

    Make backup copies of both databases prior to synchronization so you have the originals in case the result of the synchronization is not to your liking.

    KeePassX 2.0 on Windows 10

    KeePassX is a Linux/Mac program. How did you run it in W10?

    cheers, Paul
