Hello,
I own a 1Password 7 perpetual license for mac. I can no longer use Dropbox for syncing. What are the other methods? Is this possible via Box™?
I am mac, iphone and ipad user.

    iCloud, or a local network drive you set up yourself, like a NAS or a USB drive plugged into your router. I use Sync.com, it works great.

    Hi @bsa!

    Box is not a supported sync method, but 1Password 7 can also still sync with Dropbox. Here are all the supported sync methods:

    Can you clarify why you can no longer use Dropbox for syncing though? What issues are you experiencing there?

    I see, understood :+1:

    I am not familiar with sync.com, but that is also not a supported sync method. You can see all of the options for syncing your 1Password data in the link I shared in my previous post. Here it is again for your convenience:

    Thank you Ana
    However, the explanation does not mention if it works when you don't have a 1password subscription, but a perpetual license, like me.

    @bsa:

    If you use a license, your options are iCloud, Dropbox or the WLAN server :+1:

    In my family, everyone has their iCloud account, so it won't work. So I will try WLAN

    Sync.com will not work for you. It has a five device limit.

    Hi !
    In 1password help pages I read this:

    Notes:

    • The WLAN server can’t sync a mobile device to multiple computers.
    • The WLAN server can’t sync two or more computers.
    • The WLAN server can’t sync two or more mobile devices directly

    I don't understand what it means.
    In my family we have:
    4 computers (mac)
    5 iphones
    3 ipad

    Will WLAN work? Should I install it on a permanently turned on mac or on a NAS server?

    @bsa:

    I don't think WLAN will work for you with those requirements: you won't be able to sync the 4 computers between them for example. Also, you could only sync the phones and tablets with a computer, and only one computer at the time.

    I bought a perpetual license of 1password and now I'm forced to subscribe to your service, all because you don't want to offer the option to go through other multi-account sync services like Box or Google . Many developers have taken to these subscription plans, and the price of software has skyrocketed. I find myself paying 600 € per year which only cost 1/3 a few years ago. We are just cash cows. Farewell 1P?

    My apologies for this angry outburst.
    I looked at Dashlane, which offers a comparable and better priced power offering. Obviously for me it would be better to stay with 1P, being a long time user (2010). Having purchased perpetual licenses and ios apps for 10 years, could you give me a preferential offer or a commercial gesture? If I stay with you I would opt for a family plan (we are currently 4 users, but there will be 7 in the long term). Thank you.

    Hi @bsa

    I do apologize about increasing costs. Certainly the cost of providing high quality software hasn't decreased any. We've never had or promised to offer 3rd party solutions such as Box or Google. We found that there were a number of ways in which we were limited when relying on 3rd party solutions and so we've shifted our focus to our own 1st party service which doesn't have those limitations. As such, membership is the way forward for 1Password. We offer a free trial period and our team would be happy to work with you. I'd encourage you to reach out to us at support@1password.com to discuss your specific situation. I hope we can work something out. :) We look forward to emailing with you.

    Ben
