Just bought and installed 1PW.
Just bought and installed 1PW on MacBook Air, iPhone6+, iPadAir, so all software on all devices is current. I now want to give access to my spouse to our "family Vault" (we only have one Vault) and I wish to use iCloud. If iCloud is used, will my Contacts, emails, etc. now be co-mingled with his contacts and emails on his iPhone5 and MacBook Air? This would not be desirable. The cloud works fine on all my devices but I'm concerned about how it works as a "family Vault".
1Password Version: 5.3
Extension Version: Not Provided
OS Version: 10.10.3
Sync Type: iCloud for everything else but 1PW?

Hi @dtintle,
I would say iCloud is unlikely to be a good choice. iCloud Sync does rely on being logged into iCloud with the same Apple ID on all devices. Now you can turn off certain aspects of iCloud like Contacts or Mail but all it would take is one slip and everything would be merged (and I think Apple likes to have many of these enabled by default too). iCloud Sync requires iCloud Drive being enabled and any other iCloud aware app or application could end up causing problems if you need separate data. As it stands Apple doesn't have a way of sharing anything between two or more iCloud accounts.
Personally I would recommend Dropbox. You have more control and it wouldn't place anything in your iCloud at risk. Could this be a possibility?

Yes. I have DropBox on all devices so I'll go that route. Thank you.
