Can I Delete 1Password Account Export Files?

I have a folder AccountExports that has dozens of files like 1Password Account Export 20200429-133615.zip in it from a few years ago. They seem to be spaced a week apart. Are they OK to delete? I have a subscription to 1Password so I assume I've got backups in the cloud. Looking at my 1Password Settings I don't see anything about automated backups or export.

 

 

  • Hello shepster​! 👋

    Thanks for the question! Those files are offline, local backups of 1Password membership data from an older version of the 1Password app. If you see all of your data when you log in to your 1Password account on 1Password.com (in the browser, not the app) then your data is also backed up online through our servers, so you can delete those files if you need to save space. 

    1Password 8 doesn't generate the same files so you shouldn't see any growth in that folder in the future as long as you're using the latest version. Let me know if you have any questions.
