Emailing your database to yourself after every change sounds... very painful. And error-prone.
In my case, I use KeePass 2 and KeePass2Android with Google Sync and it works decently well (I would recommend you try this). I would never recommend it to non-technically-minded folks though.

Nah, doesn't hurt at all :) The db doesn't change often so isn't a big deal.
Sync looks to be for Google-domains/business only. In fact Wikipedia says it has been discontinued! I used to sync over owncloud and that worked pretty well, but the provider shut down and I haven't gotten round to setting another up.
I'm confused, would you mind clarifying? What is for Google-domains/business only and has been discontinued? I'm using the software I mentioned with a regular @gmail.com account and it syncs fine with my Google Drive. I don't have gSuite/a business account/anything else.

You weren't talking about this? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Sync - I guess not. I think the sibling poster cleared it up though, the app I'm using is pretty old and doesn't integrate well any more in Android, there's a newer Keepass app that works with Drive natively.
Nope, I was referring to this: https://sourceforge.net/projects/kp-googlesync/

KeePass2Android supports Google Drive natively. Open that app instead of opening the specific file from Drive.

Ahh! I have been using Keepass Droid, since I was using Keepass v1 files. For a long time Ubuntu LTS didn't have a good v2 client. A while back I upgraded my database to v2 on Ubuntu but stuck with KP Droid on Android. Maybe time to change app, thanks.
I tried using Google Drive to sync it up, but Drive is useless for this - it doesn't open the file using the right intent on Android ("file type not recognised" or something similar it says, this used to work as well) and the Drive website makes it a pain to upload an updated file even from the desktop using Chrome.
