The "Learn about category types" manual page (http://learn.agilebits.com/1Password4/iOS/Features/Vault/ios-category-types.html) notes that there may be limitations with file attachments when syncing to iOS devices. There is a link which presumably is intended to provide details, but the link (http://learn.agilebits.com/1Password4/iOS/ios-file-attachments-limitations.html) is dead. Can you provide more information on this subject?

    Hi @Dan_Phillips,

    Thanks so much for bringing the link to our attention. We've got it updated now and removed the dead link.

    Here are some things to consider about attachments:

    • While there is not hard limit on file size, because your entire 1Password database is encrypted and then synced across all your devices, attaching large files will increase sync time, and use up space on your mobile devices.
    • You can attach any type of file to an entry, however, only certain formats will be visible on your iOS device. If you are able to view it in QuickLook (in Finder), you will most likely be able to view in on your iOS device.

    I hope this helps clarify things, but if you do have any further questions, we're here for you :)
