Can't switch vaults
I use the Mac and Windows versions of 1Password on different machines. I have created multiple vaults that I share in DropBox. According to the documentation, there should be a Switch Vaults option on the 1Password OSX menu. I don't have one and I'm not able to switch to anything but the primary vault. If I create a New Vault on OSX, I can switch between it and the primary vault. On Windows, I don't have this problem and can switch between vaults.
This is what I have in my Preferences:
This is what my DropBox folder looks like:
No matter what I change the dropdown box to it still reverts back to the DropBox option. How do I get multiple vault switching in OSX?
1Password Version: 5.3.2 (532001) Agile Web Store
Extension Version: 4.4.2.90
OS Version: 10.10.4 (14E46)
Sync Type: DropBox

Here is the info on the vault switcher https://support.1password.com/guides/mac/switch-vaults.html
To get the other vaults on your install, simply click on one of the additional keychains. You will prompted to enter the password, and set the details (color etc). Once you fill in the icon and color. It will appear in the setting window in your first post. As an additional entry. Each vault has its own sync settings.
Rinse and repeat for each of your other vaults.
If your unsure or need help or clarification, please reply back.

Hi @rheckart,
I think thightower's response should have you covered and apologies for the confusion. You do have to connect each vault so that 1Password for Mac is aware of them and can read the contents. We don't automatically connect so that vault management is under your control and 1Password does what you tell it to instead.
Should you have any follow up questions or issues please do post back here as thightower suggested and we'll do our best to assist.

Thanks to you both - I got it working! For @littlebobbytables, it might help to add that to the documentation since I couldn't find out how to accomplish this.

Hi @rheckart,
Can I just ask, what page on our site did you start from. I'd like to gain an idea of where we could add a bit more to help others like yourself as I think you're right.
