Anyone using the free edition of Bitwarden?
Interested in using for a broad range of devices (Mac/iOS/iPad/Windows/Android).
A question: is the 'cloud' vault location user "provided" as an option?
For example if I would prefer it be on Dropbox or iCloud - can that be
done? (as 1Password used to be before it went subscription-stupid).

You need to use a Bitwarden server (it's not file-based, it's an API-based protocol), but there are a couple of self-hosted versions:

I use Bitwarden on my Windows 11 laptop and on my iPhone. It works
pretty well in my experience. I'm not aware of where Bitwarden stores
my data, but it just works across platforms.

Windows, Linux. Firefox, Chrome, Edge. Works pretty good. I say that only in that a few sites don't play nice, but you can always click the
icon in the toolbar, click either the name or password icon and it
copies to the clipboard, a few clicks but at least you get into the site.
On Linux and I would suppose Windows, there is a desktop program. A lot larger and easier to run around. I don't use it now, but did when I was setting things up.
The Firefox add-on will export to csv or, json in English or encrypted.
My wife uses it to with a different master password of course, but all I
have to do is login with her id and I can see what she has for a site
that maybe I don't.
I set the timeout on my phone to 30 minutes or so, and then it locks.
That way I can hit a lot of sites and not have the vault lock all the
time on me.

I apologize if BitWarden is the only consideration, as I understand this is not BitWarden, but it is a free respectable password management solution.

I saw your answers for BitWarden where another suggestion is KeepassXC
(the XC stands for cross compatible with macOS, Windows & Linux). https://keepassxc.org/
Their documentation discusses most of the questions you might have. https://keepassxc.org/docs/
For example, Cloud synchronization with Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive, ownCloud, Nextcloud etc. https://keepassxc.org/docs/#faq-cloudsync
And just as easy to use compatible free tools on iOS & Android with it. https://keepassxc.org/docs/#faq-platform-mobile
For iOS, we suggest Strongbox and KeePassium to open KeepassXC databases. https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/strongbox-password-safe/id897283731 https://apps.apple.com/us/app/keepassium-keepass-passwords/id1435127111
And for Android, we recommend KeePassDX and KeePass2Android. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kunzisoft.keepass.free https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=keepass2android.keepass2android
I apologize if BitWarden is the only consideration, as I understand this is not BitWarden, but it is a free respectable password management solution. Another option, which actually works quite well in its simplicity, is to
put the plaintext password file into a TrueCrypt VeraCrypt LUKS container.
VeraCrypt is a FOSS encryption program for Windows, Mac OSX and Linux. https://veracrypt.eu/en/
Free third-party apps work with the database on both Android & iOS. https://veracrypt.eu/en/Android%20%26%20iOS%20Support.html

iOS:

Already suggested, with much more detail covering all operating systems. https://narkive.com/9bTrxUQr.8 & https://narkive.com/9bTrxUQr.9
So the OP will see, that multiple people recommend that
