i've got 1password on my mac, and have uploaded my vault to dropbox. now i've launched 1password on my win 10 machine. i'm on the start screen, with the 3 options. at this point, isn't it supposed to find my dropbox files? if i try the "i have an existing...", then it looks on my local machine. what am i doing wrong???


1Password Version: 4.6.0.604

    @mtcorrado: That's right! Just navigate to your Dropbox folder and select the vault there and you'll be all set. Let me know if you have any other questions! :)

    didn't have dropbox installed and syncing on my local machine, thus, there was no dropbox folder to be found. i'm all set now. thx.

  • Hi @mtcorrado,

    Thanks for letting us know what you did. We are planning to add build-in Dropbox sync to 1Password in the next major version, so that you don't have to install it separately.

    good - i'm a software QA engineer, so if I couldn't figure it out initially, i'm sure others can't either :)
    thanks!

  • Hi @mtcorrado,

    That's why we'd like to move the sync support deeper into 1Password, so we have a better control on the overall experience rather than depending on third party tools.
