<p>you are certainly best off using the <code>~/.gnupg</code> symlink method on macOS. Not sure what you mean in regards to CanaryMail, is that not capable to import public keys in ASCII format contained in a .asc/.gpg file?</p>
<p>The diff method is definitely the most error prone method to handle this. If you really only want to synchronize the public keys, you can also just symlink <code>~/.gnupg/pubring.kbx</code>. We generally recommend however, to symlink the entire folder, so the trustdb is also properly synchronized across computers.</p>
<p>Hope that helps.</p></div>Luke Letag:gpgtools.tenderapp.com,2011-11-04:Comment/484888802020-07-27T11:42:00Z2020-07-27T11:42:02ZKeeping public keys in sync / symlinking ~/.gnupg<div><blockquote>

<p>It is; all I meant was that I'll need to remember to do this manually, since I won't be able to automate this bit.</p>
<p>Thanks, as always, for your help.</p></div>Neil
