1password 4 and dropbox
Hi
I use Dropbox to allow access to my 1Password on a number of devices. On updating today on my mac I was asked to reverify which 'vault' I was syncing to in Dropbox. On looking in my Dropbox folder I found a 1Password folder with an agilkeychain in it (not accessed since February) size 19kb and an agilekeychain in the top level of Dropbox, last accessed today, size 20MB. I chose the larger/more recent keychain to sync with. Can I delete the folder with the smaller & older keychain in it?
Cheers
Iain

I only have one vault in my Dropbox folder, so I would assume you could move the vault out of the folder and delete the folder. I'd pick the one with the most recent last-modified date.

Hi @IainF,
The great thing about 1Password 4 is that your data is always stored locally as well as in the sync source, so moving these 1Password.agilekeychains in Dropbox will not result in lost data. So, let's just reset sync across all your devices to be sure that each one is pointing to the same keychain:
On your iOS devices, open 1Password 4 for iOS, tap Settings > Sync, and toggle Dropbox to OFF.
On the Mac, open 1Password 4 for Mac, and click the 1Password menu, then Preferences. Click Sync, and click Change syncing.
Check the box to remove the data from Dropbox and confirm that you want to disable sync.
Reboot the Mac and iOS devices.
Check your Dropbox folder and delete any other 1Password folders or files that the remove data checkbox did not take care of.
On the Mac, go back to the Sync preferences, and click Dropbox. Click Choose vault, then navigate to your Dropbox folder and select Open. This will regenerate a 1Password folder in Dropbox, and that will contain a new 1Password.agilekeychain file.
Allow Dropbox to fully sync.
Go back into the iOS app and re-enable Dropbox sync. That should get everything on the same page for sure.
