    @Ibblet: Thanks for reaching out. You can use Dropbox to sync the vault between 1Password for Android and 1Password for Mac:

    It sounds like you may have setup 1Password for Android to sync with a local folder instead, so you can export the vault and then reinstall the app to set it up with Dropbox instead:

    I hope this helps. Be sure to let me know if you have any other questions! :)

    Problem is that my Mac says I am synced to WLAN. Also, on my Android tablet 'Sync' appears under Settings. I have a Dropbox account. And, now I have exported the Android account to Dropbox, However, on my new phone, 'Sync' does not appear at all. Now what? And, thank you for answering!

    @Ibblet: Any time. I'm just sorry it isn't more straightforward. If you have your vault in Dropbox and sync'd to your Mac, you're in business. Just want to make sure you have a copy of it outside of 1Password. In order to change 1Password for Android to sync with Dropbox instead, you'll need to reinstall it from the Google Play store. Then, when you setup the app, use the existing vault in Dropbox. Let me know how it goes! :)
