I would like to use the cloud to sync, but I have the agilebits version.

    If you bought the AgileBits store version within the past 30 days AgileBits will give you a refund to enable you to buy the Mac App Store version. Otherwise, I'm afraid you have to buy the Mac App Store version.

    Of course, both versions support Dropbox sync, which is in some ways better than iCloud sync because:

    • you can sync individual vaults (which you can't do with iCloud); and
    • Dropbox works cross-platform.

    Hi @ravross,

    Stephen's reply is spot-on, I hope it was helpful! Unfortunately Apple doesn't currently provide a way to convert a license for the AgileBits Store version of 1Password to the Mac App Store version. So if you wanted the Mac App Store version of 1Password, you would need to purchase that separately. But if you purchased a license from our AgileBits Store within the last 30 days, we can refund that (just send an email to support+licenses@agilebits.com to request the refund, and make sure to include the email address you used when making the purchase so we can find it in our system).

    I wanted to mention that Dropbox sync is also a great sync option, as Stephen also mentioned. It's how many of us here have always synced our 1Password data. 1Password is secure by design and your 1Password data is end-to-end encrypted, so with regard to security there's no difference between syncing 1Password data with Dropbox or iCloud. 1Password simply doesn't depend on the security of either to protect your data.

    Dropbox also has the advantage that it can be used to sync secondary vaults, and also share vaults with friends, family, and co-workers (it's not currently possible to share anything between iCloud accounts). And it's the only sync solution that works across all platforms supported by 1Password: Mac, Windows, iOS, and Android.

    If you have more questions or need anything else, please let us know. :)
