How to move from WebStore+Dropbox to MacAppStore+iCloud Drive?

I am using 1Password on 2 Macs and 1 iPhone. The Mac clients were installed from the WebStore and are still under the trial period. Given the issues I am seeing with sync because of an OS X bug which directly affects 1Password's Dropbox sync mechanism, I am thinking may be moving to iCloud Drive would be a better idea. Is it possible to do that and how should I go about it? I have about 250 entries in 1Password and I would rather avoid moving all of it manually.

    Hi @ravigupta,

    Yes, it's definitely possible to switch to the Mac App Store version of 1Password 5. The migration should be very easy, as the Mac App Store version should automatically find your data from the web store version. For more information on migrating to the Mac App Store version, please see this guide.

    The Mac App Store version doesn't have a free trial, so you'll need to purchase it from MAS in order to download it. But if you haven't already purchased a license from our web store, that shouldn't be a problem.

    If you run into any problems with that or have more questions, we'll be happy to help! :)

    Thanks @Drew_AG. Is it possible to switch from iCloud Drive sync to Dropbox sync and vice versa in the Mac App Store version?
