Trying to sync 3rd (vault) to a new macbook

yelston

Hi All,
I have a total of 3 vaults on my 1password, and the 3rd vault being a dropbox sync. When I am trying to install 1password on a new MacBook, it only auto-syncs the first 2 vaults. The 3rd vault (Dropbox) did not manage to sync/appear on my new MacBook 1password.

How do I do that?

This doc is the instruction for setting up Dropbox syncing. https://support.1password.com/sync-with-dropbox/ Here is the troubleshooting doc https://support.1password.com/dropbox-troubleshooting/

To be honest, its been quite some time since I used Dropbox syncing. But while we wait for the staff I thought I could provide some info to you. Which may get you going.

Hi @yelston!

Only vaults stored on 1Password.com sync automatically. If you decide to use a third-party sync method in addition to your first two vaults, you will need to configure that manually.

Have you considered adding this third vault to 1Password.com as well, so everything will sync automatically for you?

Hi Ag_ana,
I tried adding a new vault already (blank), but it doesn't give me an option to sync with the dropbox

@yelston:

That is correct. Vaults on 1Password.com are synced via 1Password.com. Dropbox plays no role in 1Password.com sync.

If you would like to migrate your existing Dropbox data to this new vault on 1Password.com, you will have to move your items from one vault to the other. At that point, you can stop using Dropbox entirely, and all your three vaults will sync via 1Password.com.
