    Hello folks, 

    Thank you for taking the time to explain your use case so that we can make 1Password better for everyone. Currently, the export tool will export your entire account and there's isn't an option to export a single vault or a select list of items. While I can't make any promises, I've filed a feature request to have the team look into adding such an option in the future.

    That being said, as a workaround, you can use Travel Mode to temporarily remove all vaults but the vault(s) that you'd like to export from the 1Password app on your Mac, Linux device, or Windows PC. When Travel Mode is turned on, the export will only contain items from the vaults that you've marked as Safe for Travel:

    1. Use Travel Mode to temporarily remove all but the vault that you'd like to export: Use Travel Mode to remove vaults from your devices when you travel
    2. Use the 1Password desktop app to export data to a CSV or 1PUX file: How to export your data from the 1Password desktop app
    3. Confirm that the exported file only contains data from the vault that you wanted to export.
    4. Turn off Travel Mode so that all of your vaults appear in the desktop app again.

Since my last message here I've created a Mac App to simplify things even further. You can create a copy of the App for yourself using Automator and MrC's tool.

Now I just have to drag and drop an exported .1pux file onto the app, type a vault name, and voila.

Here's a custom icon I made for the resulting Automator App To use it, rename the ".png" extension to ".icns", and then place it inside the App's /Contents/Resources folder after right clicking on the App and selecting "Show package contents". Overwrite the default icon file.
