folder sync

hello im interested in purchasing outright 1password which i will use on a windows 10 pc and an ipad air running ios9. i do not have wi-fi on my computer and do not wish to use dropbox. Can you please explain how folder sync works and whether this would be the way to ensure the data is synced between my devices. from what i can see i can't sync through itunes

    @jennibee: iOS devices cannot "folder sync". The only means to sync data between 1Password for iOS and the 1Password 4 for Windows desktop app are Dropbox and Wi-Fi Sync:

    1Password sync options

    Provided your iPad and PC are connected to the same network, the PC doesn't actually have to have Wi-Fi to use Wi-Fi Sync to transfer your data manually (though the iPad will obviously be using Wi-Fi). However, Wi-Fi Sync does depend on your network environment being configured correctly. Otherwise the devices will be unable to communicate.

    Dropbox, on the other hand, can sync your data in the background automatically just as long as you have an internet connection.

    I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any questions! :)
