I have an old Dropbox vault that I can't seem to import into 1Password 6 on my Mac.

I have 2 main vaults, one in iCloud and one in Dropbox. On my iOS devices I can see both vaults without any issues, but on my Mac I can only see my iCloud vault. I just created a third vault on my Mac just to see if I could have multiple vaults at all and it seems to work fine (it even looks like I can sync this new vault with Dropbox, but I haven't tried yet). I'd like to have access to both my Dropbox and iCloud vaults so that I can search across them from my Mac. I have access to the .agilekeychain file on Dropbox and I have tried to "import" that file into 1Password, but it doesn't work.

Please help! I'm happy to share any necessary additional information with you about this situation.

Thanks,
-Paul

    Hi psantora,

    Thanks for writing in with your question.

    There are a few constraints with this, but it's not so difficult to get working.

    First of all, you have to have your first (Primary) vault as the one syncing to iCloud.

    After that is setup to sync and work with iCloud, you just need to double click the OPVault/Agilekeychain files in your Dropbox folder to get them setup and synced as secondary vaults. I imagine that is the same order of vaults as in iOS.

    You can sync any number of secondary vaults on Dropbox (not just 3 but more).

    Ah, a simple double click! Thanks! Is this documented anywhere?

    Hi @Psantora,

    It probably is, but in case you forget you can bookmark this page :chuffed:

    Sorry, I should have been more clear. I did a lot of searching (over at least a month or two) to try and solve this issue before registering and posting here. If this functionality isn't currently documented it should be. If it is documented can you please point me to where that is so that I can improve my future searches?

    Thanks.

    I can see it written here under "Access a shared vault"

    Hope this helps.
