sync problem

bruceramus

I set up my sync folder to the wrong place - /macHD/Applications/1password/1password.agilekeychain-, and now it won't let me change.
The 'change syncing' box is greyed out. How do I do this?
Secondly, i wish to sync via dropbox, and it asks me to choose a vault... where is the primary vault stored?

nevermind...figured it out.

Hi @bruceramus,

Make sure that 1Password is unlocked, then Change Syncing… should work fine. :)

Does the /macHD/Applications/1password/1password.agilekeychain Agile Keychain have any data in it that you want to save? And do you already have any Agile Keychains stored in Dropbox?

If you want to create a new Agile Keychain in Dropbox to sync with the Primary vault in your 1Password 4 database, the Sync with Dropbox guide has instructions for doing that. If you select the top level Dropbox folder the new keychain will be created in Dropbox/1Password/1Password.Agilekeychain, which is the recommended and preferred location for syncing with the Primary vault. It'll look something like this during the setup:

Here's a basic diagram of the data flow between your Primary vault and the Agile Keychain that'll be stored locally and on the Dropbox site:

1P4 Primary vault <---1P4 Dropbox sync---> Dropbox Agile Keychain <---Dropbox app sync---> Dropbox Agile Keychain (on dropbox.com) …

The bold indicates where data is stored; italics where syncing connections are.

I hope that information is helpful for setting up your Dropbox configuration. Please let us know how it goes.
