    Another +1 for this feature. It sounds like a few people might want it, hey? ;) I would like to see it available on all platforms (iOS, Mac, Android) so we can fully switch away from Dropbox.

    Thanks for the +1 @natevancouver. This is a very important feature and we would really like to see this in 1Password. :) 1Password on desktop versions can already accomplish sync using Google Drive through folder sync. Android and iOS will need to use the Drive API to support sync with Google Drive.

    Love you guys, but you've been saying that "Google Drive support is coming" and "we know this is important!" for over 2 years now. Yet... still nothing, and you guys come out with a WATCH app first?

    Please.... PLEASE add Google Drive support. You KNOW the users want it. We've been asking for it for a while. It's amazing that this is STILL NOT THERE.

    And yet you guys come out with Watch app. Amazing. Just amazing.

    Please. ANYTHING on a status on Google Drive support would be very appreciated.

    We completely understand your frustration @w00master. We really do want to get Google Drive support in 1Password. During our look through the implementation, we discovered a limitation within the current Drive SDK for Android that prevents 1Password from being able to access files in the 1Password data folder not created using the API. This would mean using folder sync solution on another platform or manually uploading your 1Password data folder to Drive will not work with 1Password on Android. We are continuing to work hard on getting this feature implemented as soon as possible and we are in contact with Google to find a way to overcome these limitations. Thanks for your feedback!

    Can you just make it work for google drive for platforms other than android like windows, os x, and iOS? Many people use google drive while not android.

    @andrewchen5678: With 1Password for Windows and 1Password for Mac (using Folder Sync) you can do this now (although I haven't found the desktop Google Drive software to be especially reliable), since they're just writing to the computer's filesystem.

    The big issue is that on mobile devices this isn't a viable option, since filesystem access is limited, and frankly we don't want our batteries draining either. So there we need robust APIs that write (and get updates pushed) directly from the servers.

    Google I/O is coming up quick though, so I'm hoping they have some improvements on their roadmap! :)

    Is it too late to cast my vote for Google Drive sync? I dislike using Dropbox just to sync 1Password with my Mac.

    Add my +1 please. Given you have been in conversations with Google for a long time now, and there has been no progress, please point us to the Google Drive support ticket or contact so we can add some weight. Thanks.

    Hi @mariof. I'll add your vote, thanks! I also want to point out for the meantime, that it's not necessary to have the Dropbox app on your Android in order to sync with Dropbox, if space is an issue.

    @Amos, we don't have a support ticket with Google that you can comment on. Our developers are in contact with their support team, though, and we're hoping that we'll be able to work something out for the future. I'll pass this feedback along, though, so it should still add that weight. :) Thanks!
