"In the Desktop app, you have the ability to select the Documents type from the left sidebar (if you have enabled Settings > Appearance > Always Show in Sidebar > Categories)."
- I can't find settings. It seems that is the first step to trying to learn how to use tags to organize my documents?
"Perhaps you can describe what you want to be able to do in terms of functionality, vs. describe a given mechanism for doing it (e.g. folders, tags, etc.). What ultimately do you need to be able to accomplish?"
I can't really understand question except to say that I feel my description is sufficient. Currently my documents are just listed in a big list. I want to separate them into what I call folders and I believe 1PW calls tags. My description of wasting an organization similar to how windows uses folders seems like a great way to describe what I want.
How do I quote on this forum. I am just copying and pasting now.
Summary
I really like 1 password as a password vault better than Last Pass (i'm referring to functionality only in this comment) that said 1PW is not up to speed on organizing and storing documents. I've used numerous apps fo that through the years. They all use a folder system to organize. 1 PW uses tags. I wanted to get rid of Nord Locker (redundant) but that app lets me uploads folders full of documents or individual documents which I can move to a desired folder. so that will remain my primary encrypted cloud document storage. and I use one password in a limited function this way since it's already open in my chrome I still put the documents in there as well but I don't put the majority of my storage in there I'd have to upload one file at a time and assuming I learned how to use tags then I'd have to assign tags to them it's just not workable for me.
Just like the Authenticator feature (mentioned in a different thread) it is not a feature I will use. with Lastpass the authenticator is a separate app so you can use it to gain access to your password manager. With 1PW I need a new authenticator which happens to be Google right now to use that feature to access 1PW. so then why the heck would I want to have a second authenticator that's 1PW? since I have to have Google authenticator(or another one) i'll just stop there and use that.
All that said I still think 1PW is a great password vault. it just falls short in the other things it tries to do compared to the competition.
