How do I ensure my existing items can be synced to Dropbox without the OPVault overwriting?

When I set up sync, I get the message that my existing data will be "merged" with the existing vault. But that's not accurate. In fact, the existing data are REPLACED by what's in the vault. How do I make the existing data OVERWRITE what's in the vault?

    Welcome to the forum, @mountfalcon! I'm sorry for the sync troubles! However, without more information about your specific setup, it's difficult to say what might be wrong or how best to help. The best thing to do is going to be starting with these instructions, choosing your sync method on that page and making sure everything's set up correctly, then proceeding to the troubleshooting guide if it's still not working the way you expect. Let us know how that goes for you. :)

    I am running Mac OS X 10.13.6 and the latest version of 1Password for Mac (6.8.9), syncing over Dropbox.
