    Hi,

    The answer to whether iCloud is an option depends on where you purchased 1Password for Mac. iCloud sync is only available for 1Password when purchased from the Mac App Store, due to Apple restrictions regarding iCloud.
    * If you purchased 1Password for Mac from the Mac App Store then you'll find this section of the User Guide helpful - Sync with iCloud
    * If you purchased 1Password for Mac from AgileBits' Store then I recommend Dropbox as a sync solution - Sync with Dropbox

    Each of these and other available sync options (Folder sync, Wi-Fi) are covered in this section of the User Guide - Syncing your 1Password data

    Also, here is a link to the Sync section of the iOS User Guide - Syncing 1Password for iOS - just in case you need it :-)

    @straightlife: Indeed. If you'd like to use iCloud, you'll need to purchase through Apple, as they only allow App Store apps to use iCloud Sync. While only the version of 1Password from the Mac App Store supports iCloud Sync, otherwise the AgileBits Store version is identical.

    However, you can always sync with Dropbox instead, as it's supported in all current versions of 1Password across all platforms.

    I hope this helps. Please let me know if you have any other questions! :)
