Synching with Dropbox: vault mismatch [Resolved, merge vaults]

I'm synching my iPhone and iPad on iCloud. I installed 1Password for Windows a while ago, and opened the data file. However, adding passwords to the Windows version didn't show up on IOS. I discovered that I didn't change my iOS devices to Dropbox, so I'm trying to do that now, but it says there is a "vault mismatch", and that the Primary vault is different than the vault in Dropbox. It also says "We recommend you do not merge these vaults", but allow you to do it if necessary.

I do need to have them synched, so what would you suggest? What will I lose if I decide to merge the vaults?

Thanks much

    Hi @larrylef,

    When you get the Vault Mismatch warning, please tap More Info. This will show details about the differences between the vaults. If the vault in Dropbox mostly matches the local vault (probably the most recent items will be the only difference), then you can tap Merge These Vaults Anyway.

    Please let us know if you have any other questions.
