In my 1 Password 7 Preferences I have my Primary vault in iCloud. I do not see it anywhere in iCould Drive in Finder. What am I missing?

    @timlance - you're not missing anything. :) iCloud sync in 1Password does not use iCloud Drive. It uses a related technology called CloudKit that Apple released at the same time as iCloud Drive, in 2014 during the switch from the older Documents and Data format. CloudKit is more like a cloud-based database back-end that's only available to developers. You have probably used it in numerous apps already without even knowing it, but the key thing here is that CloudKit data is not accessible except within the context of the app in which it was used by the developer. In other words: you can't see/manipulate it directly in iCloud Drive. Hope that helps! :)
