Need help synching my Mac Mini with my Macbook Air. Need step by step directions!

I didn't download from the Apple store so I need to know how to do this via WiFi. I hope I don't need to do the dropbox thing ... it sounds complicated! I want to be able to have my two Macs automatically update (with each other) every evening.

I think Dropbox is easier once it has been set up. Of course, you may not want your passwords stored on Dropbox, even though they are very securely encrypted. But it's your choice.

If you've only just bought 1PW (no more than 30 days ago), you could always get a refund and buy from the App Store, and then use iCloud sync.

Some people miss the fact that the download is a trial, and you have to buy a license to keep using 1PW after 30 days.

Hi @cheri,

Thanks for posting your question here. We're happy to help you sync your 1Password data between your computers. :)

Wi-Fi sync is currently only available between a single Mac or PC and one or more iOS devices, so that method couldn't be used to sync your two Macs. As @danco mentioned, of our sync options available at this time, Dropbox or iCloud are the simplest options to sync between two Macs. You just set them up once and they do everything else automatically.

Here are the step-by-step instructions to enable Dropbox sync on each of your Macs.

Or, if you purchased 1Password from the AgileBits Store within the past 30 days, we can give you a refund so you can purchase from the Mac App Store to use iCloud sync. If you'd prefer that option, just email us at support+licenses@agilebits.com with either a copy of the receipt or the email address you used when you made the purchase (which is not the same email address you registered for the forums with, in your case).

I hope this helps! Please let us know if we can be of further assistance.
