Mac and iPhone user, sync using dropbox, all latest versions. On my iPhone dropbox app I see hundreds of files that look like 621FF9DCcBB73701572ED9c4F7928909.1password being constantly created. I can only see them in my iPhone dropbox app. It looks like my iPhone is constantly syncing and creating these files. Is this working correctly and can I delete these files to save space in Dropbox?

    Good morning @cabsa2, thanks for taking the time to write in. Dropbox syncing between Mac and iOS works by creating a *.1password file for each item in your vault. There are scenarios where our sync system may update many or all of these files, so it's not outside the realm of possibility that what you're seeing is perfectly normal.

    To answer your question directly: No you should not delete any of these files.

    Is 1Password staying in sync properly between your Mac and iPhone, or are you noticing missing changes?

    Let me know if there's anything else I can do to help you out.

    Thanks MrRooni, my passwords are all synced properly so it looks like all is ok and I will leave everything alone. Thanks for the quick reply.
