Can I convert to the App Store version to get iCloud sync?

Hi - I have been having trouble setting up iCloud sync. Eventually I found your page that refers to the change to versions. I also see that late last year you were able to individually convert web store users to App Store.

Can I get this done?

regards,

Warwick

    @wtms: Indeed. At the time, 1Password was heavily discounted in order to help people migrate to the App Store if they wished, but this is not something we can do just for you.

    If you would like to use the version of 1Password from the Mac App Store, you would either need to pay full price or wait for the next sale. Unfortunately, Apple provides no way for us (or any developer) to offer discounts or upgrade pricing on the App Store. This is true on both Mac and iOS, and it applies to all apps. It would be great if there was a way around this, but at this time there is not. Maybe Apple will change this in the future.

    While only the version of 1Password from the Mac App Store supports iCloud Sync, otherwise the AgileBits Store version is identical.

    Also, syncing with Dropbox is an excellent (and free!) choice. It's how I prefer to sync my 1Password data. And your 1Password data is end-to-end encrypted, so 1Password simply doesn't depend on the sync service to protect your data. 1Password is secure by design, not by chance.

    So while you won't be able to 'switch' to the Mac App Store, that certainly isn't your only option.

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