I suggest that the manual “sync now” action be moved from the settings panel to the extension’s persistent top bar, directly beside the “pop-out” button. Use the conventional “chasing arrows” icon and users will instinctively know what it does.
This would be very handy after making changes to items in the web vault (which I prefer for organizing/editing logins).
This would be nice for mobile apps as well. Currently the manual sync on android is settings>sync>sync button. It would be way better if it was just Tools>Sync button
Or either it could refresh and sync the vault by swiping the finger from up to down. Like overall material design apps do (such as Gmail and other Google apps).
This probably won’t be necessary going forward. Big auto-syncing improvements are now rolling out with browser extensions 1.31, desktop 1.7, and web vault 2.2. We now use web sockets to receive instant sync pushes across client applications. So manual syncs are now likely going to be a rare action.
