Switch 1P 6 to 7: where is my vault?
Hi everyone,
After hesitating for a loooong time to do the switch between my "old" 1P to the 7, I have finally taken the plunge but I'm wondering:
My "old" vault used to be stored on DropBox. Where's is the 1P7 one stored now?
I'm wondering if I can/should get rid of the one on Dropbox.
Should/Can i get rid of everything 1P prior to the 7 version?
Thanks for your help.

Hi @Thais! Welcome to the forum!

It depends on what you chose during the upgrade. If you just upgraded to the 1Password 7 app, your data will still be in Dropbox. If you upgraded to a 1Password membership instead, your data is stored on 1Password.com. In this case, you should remove your old Primary vault so it does not cause duplicates :+1:

Once everything has been moved over, you can definitely remove previous versions of the app from your system.

Hi ag_ana;
Thanks for your reply!
I did take a membership but actually I realised that not all of my passwords had been transferred to 1Password 7...
The thing is: I downloaded 1Password 7 ages ago (more than a year) and I've been using both so I think that some passwords are only on the 6 version and some on the 7... Do you know if there is an easy way to reconcile both vaults? Or should I check manually which passwords are missing... ? (considering that I have close to 500 elements, I really don't want to do this :(0 -
Hi @Thais,
Unfortunately there isn't a way to 'merge' such vaults without creating a lot of duplicate entries. Have you been making changes in both, or only in 1Password 6? If the data in 1Password 7 is stale, we can wipe that out and then re-import from v6. If you've made changes in both I'm afraid you'd need to reconcile that manually.

Hey @Ben,
Wouldn't it be possible to merge such vaults either by prompting for each item one at a time, or using "last modified" date to determine which information is "correct"?
It might get messy for notes/comments (good use case for prompting the user), but for passwords it would essentially trivial, especially if 1Password stored the "previous version".Signed,
Very hesitant about migrating 1466 items from 1Password 6 with Dropbox, to a membership account.

This particularly difficulty appears to have been created by using both 1Password 6 and 1Password 7, with data stored in different locations. If you're not planning on attempting that I wouldn't anticipate similar issues.

Ok, thanks for your answers Ben. I'll give it a go manually, there shouldn't be that many to reconcile..

@Ben I am unfortunately planning on something similar.
6 is working fine for 99% of what I need, and I am looking at trying 7 + membership for a month or two then possibly going back to 6.0 -
We really can't recommend that. 1Password 6 has been retired and isn't being updated anymore. Forward is the direction we'd point you in. :)
