4 years ago"Pending upload file is missing" text after switching from standalone to families subscription
I am running:
1Password 7
Version 7.9.2 (70902005)
1Password Store
Yesterday I switched over from a standalone vault / 1Password licence, to a new Families subscription and migrated my vault over as per the instructions.
Today I noticed in the 1Password mac app that items that had attachments now sates "Pending upload file is missing". I also see in the 1Password web app / page that it lists "This item has an unsupported field" for those same attachments, and the iOS app also indicates a similar issue too.
It would seem to me that something went wrong when the data was migrated over. Is there some way to retrieve the missing files (I was syncing to iCloud previously)?
1Password Version: 7.9.2 (70902005)
Extension Version: Not Provided
OS Version: macOS Big Sur 11.6.2 (20G314)

Hi @markuswarren, thank you for the breathtakingly speedy reply.
Like you, I don't have a Documents item. I'm still on V7, waiting to upgrade to V8 until I get my attachments back. That's where I tended to store security questions as screenshots. Once I get everything squared away, I can learn a new trick and use Documents.
I've already sent my diagnostics report to tech support and will await their reply; your experience is encouraging. I'd rather not dredge back through my old dropbox sync folder in case I need a security question reminder…

Hi cavenewt, Yes, the support team was able to assist me in getting things working. Absolutely top-notch support too :)
One thing I learnt was that the new "Documents" item is a better place to put things you're going to attach to another items, rather than using attachements.

I did this and it all seemed good until 1pass (mac) crashed and now every time I open the app, it crashes almost immediately. Is there something I should do to avoid the crashing? Some file that needs to be removed at the Finder level?
No issues with the iOS version currently

Others who lost attachments when transitioning to a membership (whilst running Version 7.9.2 on macOS) may want to restore from backups. Consider these instructions forwarded below from mailto:support@1password.com. Note, restoring from backup will sign-out the user from the 1Password membership account.
Here are the steps to restore the attachments from a backup:
1️⃣ If you do not already have the Primary vault from the previous setup, create the Primary vault on your Mac.
Open and unlock 1Password.
Choose 1Password > Preferences and click Advanced.
Turn on “Allow creation of vaults outside of 1Password accounts”.2️⃣ Once you create that, restore from your backup file: https://support.1password.com/backups/#you-can-also-create-and-restore-backups-of-standalone-vaults
... The restored vault will be "On My Mac" — from here users could go a few directions. I simply wanted the attachments, so made a smart folder to filter for items with attachments and then exported those items. The export contains a directory of unencrypted attachments.
