Can I get 1password windows browser extension (Chrome) to sync with 1password mac browser extension (Chrome) ? It's a real headache when they don't sync.

    Dropbox is your friend.

    To be clear:

    • Neither 1Password nor Dropbox is involved in any way with the syncing of the 1Password extension (or any other extension) between your Mac and PC. Chrome's built-in extension-sync mechanism handles that, regardless of whether 1Password is even installed.

    • Dropbox is not involved in any way with the syncing of data saved in the 1Password extension on your PC with the main 1Password for Windows program. The 1Password helper handles that.

    • 1Password is not involved in any way with the syncing of your 1Password data on your PC and the 1Password program on your Mac. Dropbox handles that, treating your 1Password vault (the .agilekeychain folder) just like any other file or folder that's stored in the Dropbox folder hierarchy on your PC.

    It may help to think of the various pieces in this way:
