Syncing Vaults via WiFi

A friend of mine loves 1Password so I decided to try it. One feature that is very important to me is the WiFi Sync and the other was the ability to create multiple vaults. Encrypted or not, I am not putting copies of my password data on a cloud server. In order to use multiple vaults you need to purchase the Pro Features, which I did. I'm using version 5.2 on iOS 8.

I then downloaded the trial of 1Password for Windows since according to the help file you can only create new vaults on a computer (Mac or PC) not on the iOS device. I created a second vault then tried to sync. I was able to sync the original vault created on the iOS device with a vault on Windows using WiFi. I then attempted to use the Add Vault function to sync the second vault over WiFi, however, the only option I have is to "Sync with Dropbox".

Is there a way to sync all vaults over WiFi?

Just to validate, I did install Dropbox and was able to sync the 2nd test vault I created to my iOS device and validated the sync worked by adding a record on the iOS device and syncing back to the PC. Although this works, I will not use Dropbox for real data and will be uninstalling the Dropbox program off my PC since I only installed it to test this. I was hoping that after I synced the additional vaults to the iOS device that I would be able to change the sync method to WiFi, but that option is still not available after syncing the second vault to the iOS device with Dropbox.
