5 years agore-import .1pux file
Hello,
When moving 1password.com to 1password.eu, I would like to export from .com and re-import in .eu.
I have created (export) 1pux file and it seems there is no import option in application (macos) and web vault interfaces.
Of course i manage to duplicate items from .com vault to .eu vault in application and i manage to copy all my items and migrate my datas.
BUT, to perform backup / restore, i think it should be possible to import existing .1pux file directly on web vault interface and application.
Will it be possible in the next future ? if yes, when ? If no, is there an alternative ?
thanks

@Savanni ,
Bingo!
That's perfect. Now I can get started working on a 1PUX module for the converter suite.
Thanks,

Hi, MrC . I noticed that nobody answered this question.
My first guess, based on a test that I ran today, is that you may have zipped up the folder containing export.data, export.attributes, and files. However that puts an extra folder depth into the zip file, which we don't handle. The difference in commands is something like this:
zip 1password.1pux unzipped-data/
vs.
cd unzipped-data/
zip 1password.1pux export.attributes export.data files/

I'm trying to import a 1PUX file created by 1Password 8. It was an export of selected items from a single vault.
I unzipped the vault,
In the vaults->attrs section, I changed:
- the "uuid" : changed one letter of the existing value so the uuid was unique
- the "name" : set to the name "SomeVault"
- the "type" : set to "U"
I saved the export.data file, and zipped the folder, and renamed the extension from .zip to .1pux
When I try to import this file into 1P8, it fails with an Import Failed dialog. The diagnostic file shows:
INFO 2022-07-15T14:18:38.898 op_executor:invocation_loop(ThreadId(16)) [1P:op-app/src/app/backend/task_handle.rs:45] Starting import task

What "specified file" is not being found in the archive?

Hi wizard86pz, my apologies for the confusion.
First, we recognize that it's important for you (and your friend) to be able to import data in a way that works for you, and as I mentioned this is something our developers are working on right now - so we're putting permanent solutions in place so that in these kinds of cases, you ideally won't even need us to help in the future.
In the meantime, there is customized help available, which is why I suggested contacting us. It is provided by technical specialists here at 1Password, and so I apologize for the missed communication with my teammate - not everyone at 1Password was aware of it. But I did suggest that we could help because we do have the means to do so, and are still happy to assist if your friend needs. I'll do my best to provide a more direct path to the appropriate specialist in the future, too, so that you get help that's most effective for your situation.

Hi 1P_PeterG. My friend already asked for help, before to ask help to me, but there is no possible "customized help" you mentioned:
The exported file is in just a format that is not possible to use (for import) by any web/desktop app from 1Password/AgileBits. That's all.
I've written the past post to underline the necessity to have this.
I have to say that this is not your fault, because you warn users that reach the export instructions page:
But still...
