3 years agoHi @apeeters. Apologies to all for leaving this comment to get stale.
I didn't proceed with the dropbox changeover with 1password because I actually had another issue with 1password that was causing me some grief. Having had 1password for ages, I think sometime between versions 4 and 7 there was an update which meant I ended up having two vaults running simultaneously: my desktop was able to only see one of them but on my phone I had two vaults: a "Primary" and a "Primary.opvault". It was causing me so much trouble because if I'd accidentally save a password to the wrong one on my phone, I wouldn't be able to see it on my computer. But I couldn't just delete the old one because it was considered as my original Primary vault.
It was a mess, and since I'd been wanting to update anyway, I ended up first doing a huge audit of both of my vaults, removing duplicates and deleting old passwords etc, and then upgrading to 1password 8 (yes, paying the subscription for it). This moved my primary vault to the 1password servers and removed the need for dropbox altogether.
Sorry, I know that probably doesn't help anyone since I just avoided the problem by throwing money at it.
