I purchased a 2nd MacBook and have 1Password on it. My original MacBook uses wi-fi to sync to my IOS devices which works fine. How do I add syncing for the new laptop?

1Password Version: 5.3.2
Extension Version: Not Provided
OS Version: OS X 10.10.4
Sync Type: Wi-Fi

    Hi @lsyamada,

    It looks like you asked a similar question in this other forum discussion back in May, so you can take a look at the answers there again in case it helps. As Khad suggested there, Dropbox sync is probably your best/easiest option for syncing 1Password data between multiple Macs and iOS devices.

    You mentioned you use Wi-Fi sync between your original MacBook and your iOS devices. However, Wi-Fi sync is meant to work between a single Mac and one or more iOS devices, so it won't work directly between two Macs. If you don't want to use Dropbox sync, another solution would be to keep syncing your iOS devices with your original MacBook via Wi-Fi, and keep the MacBooks in sync with each other using the Folder sync option with another sync service.

    I hope that helps, but if you have more questions, please let us know. :)
