Add Chromebook as a Use Option
Please add Chromebook programming so these devices can use the password files.

I really like SIC on my PC and phone but agree that a Chrome extension is needed. I have a Samsung Chromebook Pro with a high resolution screen. The Android app is really lousy on my Chromebook. Further, I am being asked to pay again for the Android app but the payment links don't work. Sadly, I will have to look for an alternative that works on my PC, my phone (android) and Chromebook.

To Рубэн Шторм: The Android app works extremely well on Chromebooks. The only problem is that you can't drag the app window from the Chromebook display to the display of a connected monitor. This annoying app behavior may be a security feature. Or you may prefer to see it as a bug.

Anonymous: maybe. It's up to you if you want to try Dropbox. If you can't get Dropbox to work, that will confirm that you're doing something else incorrectly. Sadly, the developer of SafeInCloud seems to have a strong bias against Chrome OS. Dropbox works perfectly every time, though probably by just by luck. It certainly didn't involve any special effort by the developer.

Disregard previous comment below - I re-read and this thread is mixed with some talking about the standalone Android app for ChromeOS and some talking about the Chrome extension for ChromeOS. Yes this works on the Chromebook. I need the Chrome extension to work also on ChromeOS, which I read elsewhere definitely does not work. Moving on, app not for me...

Extension not working on Lenovo C330 Chromebook with Android support and Android app installed. "application not running". Am I to read correctly that I *must* use Dropbox sync for the extension to work (vs Google Drive)? If that is correct, mind blown.

Joe, SafeInCloud does work on any Chromebook. It has worked ever since the original release of Play Store on Chrome OS. I know, because my Asus C100PA was one of the original three devices to receive Play Store. And I also use it on my Acer Chromebook Spin 13.
Make absolutely sure that your Dropbox Android app is installed and that you have logged in to access your Dropbox account before you try to do anything with SafeInCloud. Then, SafeInCloud will access your Dropbox account when you run the SafeInCloud Android app and select Dropbox as the location of the password database. :-)
There is only one thing that doesn't work on Chromebooks, and I have repeatedly asked the developer to fix it, and he refuses: When you drag the SafeInCloud app window from the built-in display to the extended display (on an attached monitor), the SafeInCloud app window turns black and stays black. :-(

After using SafeInCloud Pro for a number of years on multiple devices, I recently switched to LastPass after finding SIC would not work on my Asus Flip Chromebook. I would MUCH rather use SIC Pro than LastPass. The Dropbox solution that some have mentioned fails to function with my device.
I expect sales of Chromebooks to increase greatly in the future, because many are looking for a simple, loghtweight notebook to use only for internet browsing. SafeInCloud developers, you're leaving $$$ on the table every day that you fail to provide Chromebook users with a functioning SIC solution. Do you really want to do that?

The Safe In Cloud Android app DOES work on Chromebooks. I've been using it on my Asus Flip C100PA since late 2016. But you must first install the Dropbox Android app. Then, when you start Safe In Cloud, it will link to the account in which you have the password database.

Safe in Cloud Password Manager is a great tool, however, it is only half as useful without being usable on Chromebook. Unfortunately, I am considering finding another database manager which will work with Android and my chromebook.

HOUSTON, I HAVE THE SOLUTION -- found in the SafeInCloud Knowledge Base:
https://safeincloud.uservoice.com/knowledgebase/articles/465279-how-to-configure-dropbox-cloud-sync
This solution enables the SafeInCloud Android app to connect to a DropBox database if the Chromebook is running the Chrome OS developer channel, ***AND*** it is one of the Chromebooks that has support for Google Play store. (Asus Flip; Acer R 11; Google Pixel, as of this posting.) It simply requires you to first run DropBox for Android before running SafeInCloud.

I have an Asus Flip Chromebook and installed SafeInCloud using the Chrome OS developer version that supports Android Play Store apps. Attempting to launch SafeInCloud causes me to be prompted to grant permission to access the database in DropBox. On the Dropbox.com Website, when I click "Allow," I get the following error "External Protocol Request. Google Chrome OS does not support launching an external application to handle db-wi10d2d4asf66av: links." Please see if you able to resolve this problem with SafeInCloud. If you can, then I'm absolutely positive that the app will work perfectly under Chrome OS, just like almost all other Android apps.

Was about to switch from MSecure to Safe In Cloud today, but just realized that there was no real Chromebook support... I just need a way to import my old data and it seems that I need a desktop to do that. Why can't I just import data through the mobile app?

Please, add support for Chrome OS/Chrome browser, so also Linux will be supported!

Enabling Safe In Cloud usage on Chrome OS devices probably means either (1) porting the Android or Windows app to Chrome OS or (2) building the Website equivalent. The latter option is much better suited to Chrome OS but would also mean no offline Website access. Surely anyone smart enough to create Safe In Cloud can adapt its business model and pricing structure to retain the loyalty of the rapidly growing crowd whose primary device uses Chrome OS!
