Cannot share newly created vaults between 1P v4.4.2 & 1P v5.3 through Dropbox.

Using 1P v4.4.2 on MacOS 10.9 and 1P v5.3 on MacOX 10.10.4, the main vault "1Password.agilekeychain" is shared between all Macs through Dropbox.
From each Mac, created a new vault, again shared on Dropbox - the other Mac (with different MacOS) cannot see the vault created from the originator Mac.
(Just wonder how I was able to share the "1Password.agilekeychain" file to start with.)


1Password Version: 5.3
Extension Version: 4.4.1
OS Version: MacOS 10.10.4
Sync Type: Dropbox

    Wow ! Just resolve this myself : Once in 1P on MacOS v10.10.4, used Finder to select the vault created by the MacOS 10.9, then was asked to create a vault. and could then add this vault. Thought I could open up a vault by selected it through Finder.

    Hi @fenchbazou,

    Our approach could use some refining, of that there is no doubt.

    If you want to add an existing vault stored in Dropbox as a secondary vault on one of your Macs you would indeed find the Agile Keychain and then double click on it. In fact that is the only way currently to add a secondary vault from an existing Agile Keychain.

    For primary vaults it is different, to start a fresh copy of 1Password using an existing Agile Keychain you need to follow the steps in our Finding existing 1Password data during setup guide as I think you've now done.

    If anything doesn't seem quite right though please do let us know and we'll do our best to help resolve it :smile:
