Dropbox Sync between latest versions of Mac and iOS

I have looked through previous articles on this subject. I have been trying to make Dropbox sync work for around a year and I just can't seem to do it. I defended my dissertation proposal last night and was unable to access dropbox because I didn't have the correct passwords in my phone. I am just stumped.

I am currently using...
A non-app store version of 1PW 5 on OS X 10.11 on a Mac Mini (late 2009)
1PW 6 on iOS 9.0.2 on an iPhone 4s

There are 528 items on the Mac database
There are 460 items on the iPhone database

I appear to be selecting the same data file for each device as I can see no more than one 1PW data sets on dropbox (based on multiple searches).
Can someone please help me with this? This is so important to me! Thank you!

    Hi @rustyhinges,

    I'm sorry you've been having such trouble getting Dropbox sync to work!

    The article from the link in Stephen's reply should help to fix most Dropbox sync issues, so hopefully that does the trick. If not, please let us know and we'll continue from there. Thanks!

    Thank you both! I followed the link Stephen posted and followed it step by step. I have two hard drives... and as you might guess, I found that the 1PW app was reading from the wrong location. I have merged databases and am off and running!

    Boom and then ya go it!

    Thank you!
