in 1Password 4 for Windows

Hi,

I have recently purchased the bundle package of 1Password for Mac + Windows. I have setup all my necessary logins on my Mac and I am able to sync them from Mac to all my iOS devices. However, I also have a Windows PC and I would like to share the same vaults / logins from Mac to Windows. I am using the 1Password key file from Mac ( which is of extn - .1p4_zip and when I place this file on the same location where I have my agilekeychains for Windows and try to import this file on to 1Password4 for my Windows system, it is not recognizing this file. I also tried to forcefully change the extension of this file - ".agilekeychain", but still it is not getting recognized. Could you please help me to sync this file so I dont need to create all these logins in Windows PC manually ???

Thanks

    Please do not import your Mac backup on Windows. The preferred method of syncing your Vault is Dropbox. Other sync options are described here. Thanks!

    Thanks, @svondutch!

    @roys1password, it's important to understand that the backup files serve a very useful purpose, they do not serve as a means of syncing your data. A backup file is a "snapshot" of your data, frozen at that moment. Copying it to another computer doesn't link the snapshot to your data. The correct way to do that, as @svondutch writes above, is through syncing.
