Cannot change 1Password 4 for Mac to sync over iCloud [Resolved: disable existing sync first]
hi there,
i'm running 1password 4 for mac version 4.4.1 and i'm not able to change the syncing method to icloud. in the preference of 1password i only see 'syncing with folder'. i'm logged in icloud on my mac, i have the 'documents & data' item clicked and when i check the options there i see that 1password mini is selected. is this correct? what do i need to do in order to select icloud as the syncing option?
thx!

You have to disable folder sync in order to see the other sync options.

Hi @eckert,
Each vault in 1Password 4 for Mac can only be configured with one sync service (iCloud, Dropbox, or Folder) at a time. In your case, to switch from Folder to iCloud sync you'll first disable Folder sync by selecting
Change Syncing…under the Sync tab of the Preferences window:
Leave the Delete data from the folder option disabled if you want to keep the data (the 1Password.agilekeychain Agile Keychain in this example) that's being synced with in the folder.
Or, enable that option to Trash the synced data:
Then click
Disable Sync. In either case, this will not remove any data from your local 1Password database.Now you're ready to configure iCloud syncing; this article has instructions:
You've already done most of that setup. :)
Please let us know if you have other questions or would like more help. Thanks!
