I would like to purchase a 2Tb Transporter for my home network.
Can I synchronize 1Password with my devices?
I would also like to have my music library and documents available to all of my devices.
Currently I sync with DropBox….
Answer from Transporter : To follow-up from earlier, 1Password is currently still in API.
Thank you, does this mean NO, I cannot sync 1Password with Transporter?
Correct, not until it is fully integrated.

Question..what does it mean to be "fully integrated?"

    Hi @johnclark,

    Good questions! You asked if you can sync 1Password with your devices - are they iOS devices? If so, and if you're using 1Password 5 on your Mac and iOS devices, you can sync them using iCloud, Dropbox, or Wi-Fi sync (please note the iCloud sync requires the Mac App Store version of 1Password 5 for Mac).

    As for your questions about syncing via Transporter: I'm not too familiar with Transporter, but it might be possible to use it to sync 1Password for Mac via Folder Sync. This is because the Mac version of 1Password can simply write data to a local folder on the computer, and the cloud sync service would (hopefully) take care of the rest.

    But on iOS, because of sandboxing restrictions, it doesn't work the same way. We're unable to offer a Folder Sync option like we do in the Mac version because the iOS framework is written quite differently than OS X. To sync via Transporter, we would need to specifically implement Transporter support in 1Password for iOS. That is much more difficult than it sounds - there are a lot of things to consider, and plenty of work involved.

    I'd be happy to mention to our developers that you'd be interested to see Transporter support in the future, although I can't make any promises. I'm sorry I don't have a better answer for you, but hopefully this helps to explain the situation.
