    Open your fresh installation of 1Password. You'll be asked whether you've used the application before. Answer Yes. You'll then be asked where your data are synced. Follow the prompts to connect to your Dropbox account.

    How about if I DIDN'T answer yes? :)

    Before you do anything else, log in to your Dropbox account on your web browser. Can you confirm that your 1Password data are still there?

    I'm going to defer to others who are more experienced that I am at this point, but the answer to this question will be important. Also, did you back up your system before you reinstalled the OS? Time Machine?
