Restoring from dropbox on OS X Yosemite
Hey guys,
So I reinstalled my Mac and are looking at setting up my 1password. I've used Dropbox to store all my backups.
The issue
When I try to restore from Dropbox, nothing happens when I press open. I also tried to create new account, then restore backup from new account (image under) with no luck. I even tro to unzip the backup files with no result, drag 'n' drop the files on the application etc.
Using 1password beta
I then found this article about using 1password beta. The only issue here is however that I purchased 1password from Mac App Store, so I don't get the "Update" panel in preferences.
Was it unnecessary for me to update to Yosemite beta? Yes. Will I learn from it next time? Probably not.
Is there a solution to this where I can retrieve my files? Thanks for any help.

Hi Lasse
Do you have your actual 1Password.agilekeychain file synced to Dropbox, or just the backups?
Thanks.

Hey Ben,
I guess it just backups. Filename of last file is "1Password 2013-10-10 201854 (99 items).agilekeychain_zip". I just figured that since I used backups via Dropbox, I could sync back to it.

Hi Lasse,
Take the
1Password 2013-10-10 201854 (99 items).agilekeychain_zip
file, and drag it to the desktop. Rename it to1Password.agilekeychain.zip
. Double click it to unzip it and you will now have1Password.agilekeychain
.Move
1Password.agilekeychain
to the Dropbox folder, so it resides like this:Dropbox > 1Password > 1Password.agilekeychain
Now you should be able to target the file for sync.
