Multiple Sync

I wonder why they would allow both types of Sync for iOS, that means the keychain would be stored in two places, not sure how that would be beneficial

Hi @tiantai, that's correct.
We are planning to keep it consistent between iOS and Mac, and likely to turn off the support in the iOS app as well to keep it one sync method at a time.
@Eduardo_martinez, for many, it means two services to maintain the same data for backups. If one service goes down, at least you can still use the other one.

I do like being able to sync to two different places (Dropbox and iCloud) at the same time. Like you said, it allows me to access the keychain in two different ways when one service is down or inaccessible for whatever other reason.
Instead of turning off support for multiple Sync in iOS, please add multiple Sync in the Mac version.

I want to make another clearer plug for having multiple sync for 1Password be continued:
• ON my work machine, I have 1Password sync to the iCloud file because I don't want this file to reside on my work machine, a machine that can be retracted by my university any time.
• Yet, having it in DropBox also allows me to access 1Password anywhere. So being able to sync to iCloud and Dropbox at the same time is really important and useful.0 -
Hi @tiantai,
We understand, we really do but at the same time, we need to be able to provide a smooth syncing experience that doesn't cause problems for many customers. Both services don't work the same way, which is causing some of the issues.
Hopefully, we can maintain the multiple services in the future but right now, we're leaning on only supporting one at a time.
