How to force browser sync?

morriz

I can't find a button to start dropbox syncing in the 1password for mac app, but I can in the iOS app.

In the browser it says 54 minutes (!!) since last sync. Where is the button to start syncing? Please introduce a sync interval or add that button.

Hi @morriz!

There is no button to start syncing in 1Password for Mac, only in 1Password for iOS. On Mac, you can force a sync by either locking and unlocking 1Password, or by switching to another vault, and then back to the first one ;)

Awesome. Good to know. How easy would it be to add it to the UI to prevent these questions?

I am not a developer so I am not able to judge the effort required, but I can let you know that I have shared your request with the developers themselves for future consideration ;)

I would also love to see this. 1Password 7 seems very unreliable with automatic syncing to Dropbox. I'm often stuck not getting updated passwords for several hours (see screenshot).
Why not add a force sync button in the settings: should be easy enough like in the iOS app.

Thanks for sharing your perspective @p99. :)

Hi @Ben would love it if you can also share my issue with the devs. Thanks
