User Experience Issue: iOS Sync vs. Mac Sync

kerryhug

I love 1Password. It truly is an amazing set of software. But in the spirit of continuous improvement...

I find it a confusing User Experience (UX) issue that 1Password on iOS appears to offer multiple syncing options, allowing one to turn on BOTH iCloud AND Dropbox sources (see attached pic), but it appears that 1Password 4.2.2 on the Mac only allows one or the other (see second attached pic).

I run iOS, Windows (at work, ), and Mac, so I guess Dropbox is my only option, but didn't mind having the safety of two different sync mechanisms. (Has 1Password for Mac always been this way? Did it ever offer simultaneous sync options?)

Is this is the way things are supposed to work, then consider this a formal request to allow iCloud and Dropbox simultaneous synching from the 1Password for Mac client.

Thanks!

AgileBits does not recommend using more than one sync method at the same time and has indicated that in the next update of 1P4 for iOS the option to enable multiple sync methods at the same time will be withdrawn.

Also, I think it's a good idea not to confuse syncing with backing up. Always assume that your Dropbox or iCloud data can get wiped at any moment. Use dedicated backup services (like Apple's Time Machine) to backup your data.
