Can you guys add Sync with iCloud Drive also?
Can you guys add Sync with iCloud Drive also? Same as we have now sync with Dropbox. So to be clear I'm referring to iCloud Drive and not what's already available now (iCloud Sync).
I have bought 1Password from the website instead of AppStore and now I kind of find myself needing to be able to sync with my iPhone also and the only option that I know would be WiFi but I was thinking how "Sync with Dropbox works", can't we do the same and add sync with iCloud Drive? I already have this configured on my Mac (as a backup for when I reinstall the OS) so if this would also be available on the iPhone it would be awesome.
What do you think?

Version

Haha, yes, it's working this way. Not sure why but for some reason I was under the impression that iCloud sync will not work unless you download 1Password from AppStore. And I had it from AgileBits store not AppStore.
So now I was using "sync with folder" and as path in my Mac I was using "/Users/daniels/Library/Mobile\ Documents/com\~apple\~CloudDocs/1Password" (so basically the iCloud Drive from the Mac) and I was thinking that maybe the same can be made for the iOS app so that we can get the sync working for apps that are not bough from the AppStore but as it seems that's working (did something changed recently or it always been like this?) everything is ok :+1: :smile:

@daniels ah, I gotcha! Yes, we were able to get iCloud sync working with our AgileBits store version when we released 1Password 6 for Mac I'm glad everything is working and that you're all set on your Mac and iPhone :)

I actually second this motion. The reason being is I have an iPhone, iPad, MacBook but also a Windows PC. I subscribe to iCloud drive and would like to securely use it there so I can sync it from a Windows PC instead of Dropbox. Unless I am missing something here....

@mthomas184 Good point. If iCloud drive works on Windows this would make it work for your use case.
So new feature request if possible :smile:0 -
@daniels I just read this on another thread. Not sure if this is still the case or not.
"Dropbox is a separate service and 1Password is tuned for it. We can sync your file using iCloud Drive but only if it is just your PCs and your Macs and no mobile devices are included."

Hi @daniels and @mthomas184,
Thanks for letting us know you'd like to use iCloud Drive to sync your 1Password data! Although the Mac and Windows versions of 1Password can be set to sync to a location within iCloud Drive, the problem is that iCloud Drive has trouble detecting changes within folder bundles like the ones we use for Dropbox and Folder sync. Therefore it won't work well as a sync solution for 1Password. This is one of the reasons we're using Apple's CloudKit technology for iCloud sync.
The iCloud sync option is great if you only need to sync 1Password between Macs and/or iOS devices, but if you also need to sync with Windows, Dropbox is your best option.
Hopefully this helps to explain a bit about that, but please let us know if you have more questions. Cheers! :)

IF iCloud services are installed on a windows PC, why isn't it possible to use iCloud sync on the PC? My company has banned dropbox from desktops, so I have no way to keep my 1password synced across all my devices. I love the software but am looking at other options as this is a deal breaker.

Hi @artspiller80 ,
I’m sorry to hear that you’re having trouble finding a sync that works with your company computer.
Unfortunately, 1Password uses CloudKit to handle the iCloud syncing, and this service is separate from iCloud Drive. (I know, there’s a lot of ‘cloud’ names floating around - it’s easy to get confused!
If you’re looking for a simple way to keep your 1Password data with you everywhere, you might want to check out 1Password Families. With 1Password Families or 1Password Teams, you don’t need a third party solution to sync your data - 1Password handles it all. There’s even a handy web app that can help you access your data when you’re away from all your devices.
Please let me know if you have any questions!

Is this possible to do now? I have multiple Vaults that I want to sync, and, for a variety of reasons, am looking to phase out Dropbox.

Do you have any recommendation for syncing multiple Vaults without Dropbox? I am not averse to paying for 1Password Families, but to my knowledge, it is not well suited (or perhaps not at all suited) for individuals in that "Family" using it to sync multiple private Vaults of their own. No?

Or, to think about it differently, are there technical barriers to someday implementing multiple Vault support for the current CloudKit sync implementation (which I find to be great, except for its 1 Vault limitation)?

Hi rcrcr,
You can sync multiple vaults with 1Password Families, and you can configure access to those vaults -- making multiple 'personal' vaults no problem.
Any technical barriers regarding multi-vault CloudKit sync can be surmounted with enough effort. But when we developed the iCloud / CloudKit sync we wanted it to be the simple go-to option that would work for most people. Adding the UI required to support multiple vaults worked against that goal. And we knew that Dropbox would work for well for advanced use cases.
However, now we are putting tremendous effort behind the 1Password.com syncing because that is the simplest and the most flexible path. It's the simplest to set up, works on all platforms, and finally allows multiple vaults to be shared between multiple users with advanced access controls.
