1Password for iOS Dropbox Vault Support

Hi @girma:

Yes, that's correct. The future of 1Password is 1Password accounts, and 1Password 8 only supports 1Password accounts, not standalone vaults synced with iCloud or Dropbox.

1Password 8 is a separate download on the App Store from 1Password 7.

Thanks for the update, and great to hear that it’s a separate download—I would hate to have to turn off auto-updating.

You're very welcome @girma. Feel free to get in touch if there's anything else we can help you with.

It's a shame that in the new version we can't use iCloud for our passwords. With all due respect, I trust Apple (iCloud) to safeguard this type of information, now I have to look for a different alternative to 1Password, an application that I have been using since its first version. Anyway, thank you very much for the services provided, and have a great day.

Hi @schmilo:

One of our founders, Dave, spoke a bit on why we're moving away from standalone vaults here: The future of local/standalone vaults

If standalone vaults truly are a dealbreaker, I wish you the best. Stay safe out there!

I used to have to keep dropbox app updated to ensure that 1password7 app would sync with my laptop newly generated passwords. I now have 1password8 do I still need the old dropbox app and 1password 7 app?

If you see all of your items in 1Password 8 then you can safely remove the old 1Password 7 app. And if you don't need Dropbox anymore then it sounds like you can remove that as well but double-check that you're not using it to store any other files.

If you don't see all of your items in 1Password 8 and you see an older "Primary" standalone vault in the old 1Password 7 app then you can find our migration guide here: Upgrade to 1Password 8 for iOS

I hope that helps! 🙂
