Hi there, @GarnBar!
On Mac, a 1Password vault can sync to either Dropbox, iCloud, or a flash drive (folder sync)... but not more than one of those at a time, and we don't recommend switching sync methods frequently. To sync your vault between your Mac and iOS device(s), you can use Dropbox, iCloud, or Wi-Fi sync. Can you fill me in a bit about why you'd want more than one sync option?
It may be worth noting here that 1Password for Mac also makes automatic local backups, so if your concern is redundancy for the sake of backing up your data, you're welcome to use a backup drive on your Mac to back up your 1Password backups. If you do that, just be sure to exclude the 1Password app itself from the backup, because the data is stored separately, and having multiple copies of the app installed can cause conflicts.
I hope this explanation helps a bit, and I do look forward to hearing back from you about why you'd be interested in using more than one sync method. Cheers!
