I have multiple computers, and ipad and an iphone. I want to make sure I'm syncing the best way. I have the agilekeychain saved in dropbox. Is that the best way to sync? If so, how do I do it. Is the family suite better. I've paid for more than one copy of 1password so I prefer not to spend more monies on syncing. Please help. Thx! Sharon

    Hi @sharon_oyer ,

    1Password for Families does offer a superior sync experience, since we have built the server from the ground up to support 1Password sync. It costs $5/month for up to 5 people and clients are free. You can read more about it here: https://1password.com/families/

    If you wish to sync via Dropbox, you can still do so. Based on you mentioning that you have an agilekeychain file saved in Dropbox, you have synced at least one of your devices there. If you are not sure about that file you can start fresh. Just go to the device that is still syncing, and turn sync off (in Sync Preferences on Mac, Settings -> Sync on iOS), and then delete that agilekeychain file after you've turned it off.

    Instructions to set up Dropbox are located here.

    Just point all of your devices to the same sync file on Dropbox and you should be good to go. If you have any questions, feel free to reply.

    Cheers,
    Kevin
