Is syncing using a 'Shared' Dropbox folder for two or more 1Password users a supported config?

mrbarker

I sync my 1Password keychain to my Dropbox folder in Dropbox/1Password/1Password.agilekeychain.
I have shared the Dropbox/1Password folder via Dropbox with my wife.
She has this same folder in her Dropbox and syncs her 1Password kyechain to it.

Is this a common and/or supported configuration?

It should be supported. This is very common for families. Why have more than one dropbox account for a family?

roustem

Yes. It is supported. This is one of the main reasons 1Password is still using the full Dropbox access that allows shared folders.

roustem, I'm glad it's still a supported configuration as it's how I keep my vaults synced between myself and my wife. Ever since upgrading to version 4 on my mac, though, any time I put my keychain in a shared dropbox folder syncing ceases to function. I get sync confirmations but the data remains unchanged across my devices. Any ideas on what might be causing the glitch? I know this is a major re-write so glitches are unexpected, but this is something I really depend upon...

Also, I love that I can use markdown in comments...

@roustem
Thanks for the quick confirmation, I had thought that this had been mentioned in the past.

@wezlo,

Unfortunately, it is a bug that currently affects Mac App Store customers in certain cases. Please see this post for more information:

We have submitted an update that should fix this problem.

Thanks roustem, I will wait to update my wife until the update comes out!

Hi @wezio,

We did release 4.0.3 update to fix this but there is a different issue with Dropbox. Hold off for the 4.0.4 update instead.
