Local .env file option not available

The "Local .env file" options is not shown in my destination options for environments.

The only options I have is AWS Secrets Manager.

I tried with both my Business and Personal accounts and I have the same behaviour.

Am I missing something here ? Do I have to enable a certain setting so that this option is available ?

Thank you for your help!

    Hi all, ( @ejqs & @edbourque  & @noroz ),

    Ah! Sorry for the confusion, Local File Mounting for the Environments feature is still in Beta and only available on Mac and Linux.  Windows is not supported at this time, but we are working on parity.

    I'm experiencing the same issue. No option for "Local `.env` file" available.

    Hi @edbourque and @noroz ,

    Thanks for writing in.  Most likely you'll need to make sure you are using the latest 1Password and also be sure to restart the 1Password agent.  The easiest way to do this is to restart your machine.

    Let me know if this helps,
    Phil

    Hi Phil,

    Thank you for your response.

    I tried restarting my computer, reinstalling 1Password and even installed the beta release on two separate machines and had the same behaviour.

    I see it in my Mac but not my windows device.
    I have also checked that the app is up to date and even restarted for good measure.
    Could not configure the destination to local .env

      When can we expect a parity update on windows?
