Deciding on Sync option

I'm trying to decide on what sync option i want to use. Dropbox is not a consideration. Do most people have multiple vaults? If so it would appear pretty important to have all vaults sync (wifi).
See if I have this correct to help make decision
I'm only concerned with Apple products.

Wifi
Sync Multiple vaults
1 Mac plus several iOS.
sync from local network only.
can purchase on web(30 day trial) or MAS

iCloud
multiple Macs and iOS.
Sync only primary vault.
must be purchased at MAS
Can switch to Wifi later?

    Hi @safety1,

    It looks like you have a pretty good understanding of the sync options! Just to elaborate on a few things:

    Starting with version 5.1 for Mac and 5.2 for iOS, Wi-Fi sync supports multiple vaults (before that, only Dropbox sync supported multiple vaults). Wi-Fi sync works best if you're only using one desktop computer. You can use that to sync with 1Password on all your iOS devices.

    Currently, iCloud sync only works with the Primary vault. In order to use iCloud sync, you'll need to buy the Mac App Store version of 1Password 5 for Mac. (Both the web store version and Mac App Store version include the Dropbox and Wi-Fi sync options.) Yes, you can switch from iCloud to Wi-Fi sync later if you want.

    If you have more questions about that, please let us know!
