Cleaning things up. Watchtower changes not syncing.

Last night, finally, I went to watchtower and changed the passwords on the items listed on my Macbook Air. This morning I opened my iMac, and the items had not updated there. I verified that both 1P versions were the latest. What did I do wrong? I checked sync on both and both had synced this morning. How do I fix?


1Password Version: 6..8.3
Extension Version: 4.6.11
OS Version: 10.12.6
Sync Type: dropbox

    I solved myself. It was a simple syncing issue. I followed the trouble shooting guide, and re-installed dropbox.

    Good to hear! Thanks for the update. Yeah, for some reason I've had to seek out some Dropbox updates manually myself sometimes as well.

    In case it helps anyone else, Watchtower doesn't sync anything. For privacy reasons, the entire database is downloaded to your device, and then the app just compares the dates to see if there are logins which need to be updated. So, as long as your data syncs, Watchtower will have correct information on what has been updated and what still needs to be. Cheers! :)
