After upgrade to 1Password 7 vaults not syncing IOS devices using DropBox

I recently upgraded to 1P 7 to be able to work in the latest Safari. That seemed to work seamlessly. However, I just discovered that this set both of my vaults to be "on My MAC" instead of syncing via DropBox which was the previous case. Now I cannot see updates made on my Mac on my IOS devices.

I am not sure how to rectify this situation. From looking at the 1P settings on my Mac I cannot tell where it thinks the new vault is. The old vaults appear to be in the same location in DropBox.

How do I proceed.

    Hi @Louie!

    If you open 1Password Preferences and select the Sync tab, you should be able to choose Dropbox as your sync method in the dropdown next to your vaults :)

    Yes I see that but is that going to replace the v7 data with the previous data or will it merge with what is already on DropBox?

    @Louie:

    It should prompt you to merge your data, but I recommend making a backup of what you currently have just in case. If anything goes wrong, you will be able to restore to the current situation.

    I get this error when trying to enable DropBox syncing.

    @Louie:

    Is /Volumes/DataDisk... your Dropbox folder? That folder needs to be synced to Dropbox for this to work. I don't think you are selecting the right location.

    Yes this is my DropBox folder. I moved my home directory to the Mac drive DataDisk. This is how it has worked for years with 1P v6. There must be something in your test/validation that is getting confused by this path.

    My home directory path in Users and Groups Advanced options is: /Volumes/DataDisk/Users/lsherwin DropBox is a sub folder.

    Ok I've sent the diagnostic report to both support+mac@1Password.com (as instructed on how to send diagnostics) and to support+forum@1Password.com. I am hoping this is an alias to agilebits.com.

    So far there is no response from either so I don't have a ticket number.

    I have not had any further response to my problem since the ticket was opened or to the open ticket referenced above.

    This is not a problem with syncing with DropBox. It is a problem that 1Password 7 will not even look at my DropBox folder. I am getting very frustrated having just spent another $50 for a new v7 license only to have it grab my shared vaults and hide them away from my other devices that are happily still syncing to DropBox.

    Yes I know that "Subscribing" to your new membership service will likely solve this problem. However, I am getting "subscription fatigue". Everywhere I turn another app is demanding a subscription. While I don't necessarily disagree with the subscription model the aggregate costs are getting out of control. Nobody's pricing is taking into consideration all the other services that are demanding that you subscribe. I just can see spending $60/year FOREVER just do do something that worked previously.

    Please fix V7 to be able to access my DrobBox.

    I see a new email from Gareth just a few hours ago. Let's keep the conversation going in one place so we don't keep jumping from one to the other.
