Wifi sync will sync both primary and secondary vaults between a Mac and an iOS device.

The only option showing when I create a new vault is Dropbox

What version of 1P for iOS are you using and what version of 1P do you have on the device with which you wish to sync?

Hi @detjo,
Are you trying to sync an existing, additional vault that was created in 1Password for Mac or Windows? Or are you trying to create a brand new secondary vault in 1Password for iOS? Currently, it is not possible to create an all-new secondary vault in 1Password for iOS, but you can sync another vault that was created in 1Password for Mac or Windows.
We recently added support for syncing secondary vaults via Wi-Fi in updates for 1Password 5 for Mac and iOS (which is why Stephen asked which versions you're using). Syncing multiple vaults via Wi-Fi sync works a bit differently than Dropbox sync, though. If you're using 1Password 5 for Mac and iOS, please take a look at this User Guide article for steps to set up Wi-Fi sync for multiple vaults.
Does this help? If you have more questions about that, please let us know. We're here for you! :)

Correct, as 1Password for Windows doesn't yet really have the concept of multiple vaults. It works with only a single vault at a time.
Dropbox would currently be the only solution to sync multiple vaults between Windows and iOS.

What about syncing multiple vaults via Wi-Fi for Windows? Do you have such plans in the nearest future? I like 1password, but this feature is critical for me. I would be very happy if there were this functionality.

Hi @aborawski,
Unfortunately enabling multiple vault sync over WiFi for Windows is going to take a number of under the hood changes, as 1Password for Windows does not yet use the same underlying database that 1Password for Mac uses to manage multiple vaults. That will have to come first. So the short answer to your question -- if it is coming in the nearest future, is no.
Sorry I don't have the answer you were hoping for.

You are right, it's not good news for me :(, thank you for answer. Could you extend explanation pls? Are you thinking about that big change or no? When is it possible to achive such feature: a few month, 1 year, a few years or never?

@aborawski: We don't currently have plans for this, but it's certainly something we'll consider as we develop future versions of 1Password. Thanks for letting us know this is important to you! :)
