[FEATURE REQUEST] Mac to Mac Wi-Fi sync

Hello everyone,

I'm not sure how many people own (and use) several Macs at once, but I can't believe it's such an uncommon pattern. At the very least, it may be necessary to always have a ready-to-use backup if you use your Mac for work and want to ensure minimum problems when something goes really wrong with one of them.

Yet, I wasn't able to figure out how to conveniently sync 1Password vaults among different Macs, when one (like me) wishes to avoid Cloud services. In my humble opinion, Mac-to-Mac Wi-Fi sync is a must and should have been introduced shortly after releasing the Wi-Fi sync feature :).

    Hi @BanthaBuuthu,

    We do have an existing feature request for Mac to Mac/Windows Wi-Fi Sync and I've added your voice to see this happen. At the moment though if you wish to sync between multiple Macs and want to avoid a cloud solution then we have Folder Sync. It may seem a bit old school but the most robust way of syncing between multiple Macs with Folder Sync is by way of a pen/flash drive. OS X gives us nice clear notifications when a removable storage device is discovered or removed which we don't if a network share is used. That's why I understand the desire to see the various copies of 1Password for Mac to be able to Wi-Fi Sync as that would bypass this issue. I cannot make any promises as to when or even if such a feature will be implemented I'm afraid but I do know that a number of people would love to see this happen.
