in 1Password 4 for Windows

I have 1Password on my iPhone and I want to use it on my PC. When I open the PC application it has three options. I do not want to create a new user but with the other two options I have to choose a back up from the directory and I don't know where that back up is or how to get it on the PC.

    Hi @sebastianhill,

    Do you want to sync your 1Password data between your iPhone and your PC? If yes, we have two options to let you do that, Wi-Fi Sync or Dropbox. We recommend Dropbox as it is the easiest option.

    If you'd like to set it up with Dropbox:

    1. Set up 1Password on your iOS device first to sync with Dropbox here: https://support.1password.com/guides/ios/sync-with-dropbox.html
    2. After that, install Dropbox on your PC from the website here: https://dropbox.com
    3. After installing Dropbox, wait for it to finish syncing on your PC, and then open 1Password, it should automatically detect your data in Dropbox or select the option to choose an existing file and go to your Dropbox > App > 1Password directory to use 1Password.

    If you want to use Wi-Fi sync, you will need to tell 1Password you're new to 1Password and create a new vault, be sure to choose the .opvault file type on the bottom of the Save file dialog. Once you do that, unlock, and go to the File Menu > Wi-Fi Sync to perform the sync with your iPhone.
