I want to access my primary vault stored on Dropbox using the browser add-on

rtchau

My primary vault is still stored on Dropbox and I've been updating to that vault. When I installed the new browser add-on for 1Password 7, I cannot access that particular vault. Apparently I'm only able to access the vaults stored in the 1Password cloud. How can I access the one on Dropbox?

@rtchau: Thanks for reaching out. I’m sorry for the confusion! 1Password X works only with 1Password membership accounts. It is not possible to use it with a standalone vault in Dropbox. You'd need to use the companion 1Password desktop extension:

https://support.1password.com/1password-extension/

You can download it here:

That said, if you're using a 1Password membership, it would be best to move the data to that account so it's accessible to you anywhere you sign in. Otherwise you'll need to sync that vault separately, and that can cause confusion -- and data loss if you don't take care to back it up.

I hope this helps. Be sure to let me know if you have any other questions! :)

Got it. The companion works. Thank you.
