I currently have 1PW personally with dropbox sync. With 1PW Family does it sync through dropbox as well? If not, how does it sync?

1Password Version: 6.2.1
Extension Version: 4.5.5
OS Version: OS X 10.11.3
Sync Type: Dropbox

    No, it syncs through 1Password's own hosted sync system, using AWS servers. IMHO the server is superb its really fast, a lot faster than Dropbox and I have been using Dropbox for years.

    Thanks! How does that effect the secureness of the stored passwords?

    Hey there @nyelverton,

    1Password for Families uses AgileBits servers to store your passwords instead of Dropbox to store the data. Your data is stored on the server in an encrypted format that only you have the Master Password and Account Key needed to unlock the data. So essentially if someone were to get the data off the servers they would not have enough information to unlock and access your information.

    You can check out our introduction for 1Password for Teams (which is the same technology as Families) you can check out this blog post https://blog.agilebits.com/2015/11/03/introducing-1password-for-teams/

    Hope this answers your question.
