Sharing dropbox vault to two 1Ps?

Hi there.
I'm using one host computer windows 10 and a virtual box computer running windows 7. For sync I use dropbox. But from windows 7 I don't have access to dropbox, so I can't sync it this way.
What if I share the dropbox folder from windows 10 through virtual box folder sharing to use it in windows 7? Then two 1P instances would work on the same dropbox vault ... is it possible without crashing the database?


1Password Version: 4.6.1.620
Extension Version: Not Provided
OS Version: Not Provided
Sync Type: dropbox

    Yes, that's okay, I have the same setup with my VMs sharing the same cloud folders to save space on my disk. We don't generally recommend it because the chance of a sync conflict is much higher but it wouldn't damage your database. Just make sure both 1Password apps are configured to back up your 1Password data to its own folder, not reusing the same backup folder.
