Add new Sync button on the main page

@Martin_Swapnil @levent @Naxterra please try the syncing functions again, we believe we have addressed the live sync issues. Just for clarity, this syncing is for user vault items, not organization data at this time.

Perfect Thanks, works Instantly , I wonder what changes have you done to implement this feature, have you implemented sync on every write ?

The feature has been in place for some time, but the servers that deliver the “sync” were lagging, oddly only for some users, too. :thinking:

We made some infrastructure changes to increase their “horsepower” and other system adjustments, and now we have syncing back to its normal, nearly instant sync :sunglasses:

That’s perfect Thanks Trey! Really appreaciate your Support. Also was wondering is Bitwarden planning to increase the Yearly pro membership ? since I have added funds in my account so that it will auto renew, but wanted to know the status of membership costs?

Glad we could get it resolved!

We also have no plans to increase the premium membership pricing :+1:

@tgreer
Many thanks that you handle this issue, it seems working. :+1:

It is still not instant. I created a new login in browser extension and after several minutes, it is still not reflected in desktop app.

Yes, I think you’re right…
This time, I’ve tested with creating new login within browser extension like you did, wait for some time but it not worked. After exit Bitwarden application and re-login then sync worked, it’s like it’s not refresh by server side?

was not aware of this until I saw this comment. From all the people posting comments here, I’m guessing I’m not the only one

Syncing not automatic for me on iOS app - I have to do manual sync. I logged in here to make this same feature request. The pull-down gesture is a nice feature, but again, I wasn’t aware of this. Not sure how to better communicate that that feature exists - I went to Settings>Sync multiple times to do manual sync and did not see the comment about pull-down gesture to sync.

Feature name

  • Move the “sync vault now” action to be at top level of browser extensions, vs needing two clicks.

Feature function

In the firefox browser extension, to sync vault, have to click on settings and then “Sync” which then leads to a view with only one action: “Sync Vault Now”. If there were multiple options to go forward this third click to get to this view would make sense. However as only one choice, the feature request is that this affordance is pulled back, and hence available from the settings level.

There is one piece of datum that the buried view has, on when the vault was last synced. That could be pulled up to the settings level too. Note that in the mobile iOS app, swiping down refreshes without presenting data on prior refresh, so the decision that sync refreshes don’t need to have last sync time has already been made (apart from being intuitive).

i think the same thing. It doesn’t feel very user friendly.
i played a bit with the HTML and CSS and made this:

Hi.,

My observation (I’m new on Bitwarden. Please correct me if I’m wrong) :
To synchronize the vault (or to refresh and check the vault after having added, edited or delete en entry):

  1. In the computer application, we have to click 2 times :
  • In “File” (upper menu)
  • Synchronize vault”.
  1. In the Firefox extension, we have to click 3 times (I guess it’s the same thing on Chrome or others) :
  • Settings
  • Vault
  • Synchronize vault now

In both cases (and especially in the second one), I propose that a small button be added in the main window, to synchronize (therefore by a single click).

Thanks for your coming feedback…

From your text I can’t catch if you know this: the vault also should synchronize (regularly) automatically - see here: Sync your Vault | Bitwarden

The Bitwarden apps should be automatically synchronized immediately when any change is made to the vault contents. However, there is currently a bug that is affecting synchronization.

Thank you grb for this information. For me right now, there is no automatic and immediate synchronization both on the browser and on my computer. I will check again once the bug will be fixed (have you an idea when it will take place?).

As I am not a Bitwarden developer (not otherwise affiliated with Bitwarden), I have no information about their schedule for fixing bugs. Your best bet would be to subscribe the the GitHub thread linked above, so that you will be notified about any updates.

@Vaikuntha I merged your request with this existing one to the same topic.

Sidenote: I adapted the title a bit.
(before, it was: “New Sync Button Feature Request!”)
