I suspect 1Password sees features like iCloud Keychain coming and is trying to grow into other markets because a "good enough" built-in password manager will significantly decrease their value proposition in the consumer space.
Not great if you like their product as a consumer, but 1Password's biggest feature differentiator right now is better family sharing than iOS provides. That could easily change in a future iOS version, and then it's suddenly a lot harder for 1Password to grow by selling a $60/year password manager subscription.
Enterprise features on the other hand, that's not something that OS vendors are likely to ship.
While I don't like the newer versions of Dropbox as much as the old ones, I can understand how pressure from iCloud and OneDrive pushed them toward enterprise features over consumer users.

- wlesieutre 5y agoIf anything I'd bet on MS sticking it into their Office subscription, not Windows itself. So 1Password will be up against iCloud Keychain from Apple and Microsoft Passwords 365 on the enterprise front.
- indymike 5y agoYou are probably right.
