I have a personal membership, is it ok to delete dropbox data?

Now that I have a personal membership, is it ok to delete the previously synced 1Password data in DropBox?

As long as you are sure your membership vault(s) are working ok, you can delete any 1PW data in Dropbox.

Hi @Alanxb1x! So long as you've moved your data from the Dropbox vault to your 1Password account, that's okay. :) You can check by opening https://start.1password.com/signin and signing in, then looking through your vaults there to make sure your data is in them.

If everything is ok what is the best method to delete the old dropbox vault and confirm it's actually deleted?

@Seneca

If you have removed the Dropbox vault from 1Password itself then simply delete the 1Password keychain file from your Dropbox folder like you would any other file.

Corey,

Thanks for the reply. It's been a slow transition to me for families from syncing via dropbox to your servers, but it's been smooth, and everything is worked. Even though the duplicates from the legacy Dropbox vault on a number of devices was something that I needed to be aware of. Also not to create a new entry into the old dropbox vault.

I have a 2009 Mac mini that the end of the line is Mavericks and I can only install and run version 6 on this machine.

Is there going to be any issues with me running version 6 on this machine and version 7 on my macs and iOS devices?

I was running version 5 until yesterday and version 7 on my two other Macs so 6 is looking significantly different to me.

It's a secondary computer, but I'm still planning on using it for the foreseeable future.

I was accessing logins from the dropbox file via version 5 on this computer.

Maintaining two separate master passwords and accessing out of date data was something that I didn't want to continue doing so I decided to go all in on the transition this weekend.

Thanks for the help everybody at Agile Bits is so awesome to work with!

Thanks for the kind words!

Right now no, but in the future almost definitely yes. I hate to be the bearer of bad news but 1Password 6 is no longer being updated and it is likely that as we continue to evolve 1Password there will come a point at which we break backwards compatibility. Beyond that point it may be possible to access 1Password.com via a web browser.

That said, even in the short term, we can really only recommend using the latest version of 1Password, web browsers, and operating systems, especially on systems connected to the internet. Mavericks hasn’t had a security update in over 2 years, and likely never will again.

Ben,

Thanks for the reply support around here has been awesome.

That was my concern about 1Password 6.

Web access is a great idea.

This mini is still useful for me for auxiliary purposes. It’s far from my primary machine, but I’m at the end of the road for being able to update. Occasionally I need to access a password. Things like my Apple ID etc. 

How much risk is there to still use this machine with 1Password 6 for Authentication and an occasional password?

@Seneca

You’re welcome. :) Thanks for the kind words. Right now the problem isn’t so much 1Password 6, it is moreso having an unpatched operating system connected to the internet. I’m really not sure I could put any sort of definition or number on “how much risk” that presents. 1Password 6 was updated relatively recently. Mavericks hasn’t been patched in 2+ years. I don’t imagine anyone that works here would tell you they personaly would continue to use a computer running an OS that hasn’t been patched in that long connected to the internet, if that gives any sense of the level of risk.

Thanks Ben,

Well, it may be time to retire the machine and open the checkbook after the next Apple event rumored to be around the corner. 

It is to bad because the mini works well for things like my 8 and 4-year kids to use and some internet surfing. 

It is on our network. Software from the Apple app store is always asking for my Apple ID. A big reason to keep 1password on the machine. Never really thought about this being a significant risk.

I know it may seem odd this day and age to have a computer that is not connected to the internet, but there really wouldn't be hardly any risk of keeping it around if it were not. For whatever that's worth. Something to consider.
