    These excerpts from the user guides should help you:

    Sync with Dropbox (iOS)

    Setting up Dropbox sync (Windows)

    However, if you still have problems and need to post again do please tell us:

    • What version of 1Password you have on each device
    • Where you are running into difficulties (what step of which guide)

    Thanks Stephen and Ben for your quick responses.
    I am running the latest version of 1Password on both devices.

    Here is what the situation looks like from a noob’s stand-point:
    Going with the option to Sync with Dropbox (iOS), step #1 has me stumped:
    “If you already have a 1Password vault on another device [I do, Windows7 Pro], make sure Dropbox sync is enabled in that copy of 1Password before you continue.”

    OK, WHERE? I see various avenues of pursuit:

    On Windows machine OR on iPhone device_ (I’ll assume the former)_

    Within the Dropbox folder, Dropbox website, 1Password Main Program, 1Password Dropbox entry OR somewhere else?

    Then … HOW? What am I looking for: a checkbox, button, tab, link OR something else?

    Then I can proceed to Step 2.
    I’m not compaining, just explaining the plight of the newbie. :)
    Thanks,
    Oran (life-long newbie)

    @Oran: Yes. It sounds like you'll need to setup Dropbox Sync on Windows first, since you'll need to get your existing vault into Dropbox before you can sync it anywhere else. Just follow the instructions in the guide that Stephen_C posted:

    Dropbox Sync setup (Windows)

    You'll need to install Dropbox on your PC first, then launch 1Password for Windows, click on Preferences, General, and the Move to Dropbox button.

    Then when you setup Dropbox Sync on your iOS devices you can login to your Dropbox account and it will offer you your vault (from the PC) that is there:

    Dropbox Sync setup (iOS)

    I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any questions! :)
