Problem syncing my Iphone and Ipad with Dropbox

My 1Password is syncing with Dropbox, so no problem there. However, when I try to set up my IPhone and IPad to sync with the 1Password data in Dropbox, I get a screen message of "Please Wait. Downloading encryption keys" and then it just grinds and grinds and grinds...with a net result of nothing; i.e., no sync is set up. Can anyone help me with this? Thanks!

    Hi @wmcfarland‌

    I'm sorry to hear that you're having trouble getting things synced up here! Let's try resetting sync on your Mac to generate a fresh 1Password.agilekeychain file for your iOS devices to snap up.

    • On your iOS devices, open 1Password 4 for iOS, tap Settings > Sync > Sync Service and choose 'Disable Sync’ (if it is currently enabled)

    • 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.

    • Restart 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, but if you're still seeing that message, please let me know and we'll investigate further.

    I'm also having issues with this. I tried the steps you outlined, but unfortunately it's still not syncing with DropBox. Running iOS 8 beta 5.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

    Hi Sal,

    I'm sorry to hear that you're having trouble here. Are you also on the 1Password 4 for iOS beta? Test driving an operating system is often fraught with interesting bug, but we'll do our best to get this sorted out for you. We'll need to take a closer look at your system here to determine where things are getting tangled up.

    I'd like to ask you to create a Diagnostics Report from your iOS device:
    https://guides.agilebits.com/knowledgebase/1password4/en/topic/diagnostics-report#ios4

    Then attach the entire file to an email to us: support@agilebits.com

    Please do not post your Diagnostics Report in the forums, but please do include a link to this thread in your email, along with your forum handle so that we can "connect the dots" when we see your Diagnostics Report in our inbox.

    A short note here once you've sent the Report in will help us to keep an eye out for it. :)

    Once we see the report we should be able to better assist you. Thanks in advance!
