1Password dropped support for the legacy Dropbox sync API some time ago. I was a bit bogged as well, because it needed me to re-buy 1Password from the Appstore. Previously I had v3, v4 needed to be re-bought. When you were a user of 1Password v3, they made that very transparent and also wrote[1] about it on their blog
That sucked, _but_ I get why they did it. v3 used an API of DB that was legacy and they didn't want to support it anymore, because they had a new implementation around the corner which used iCloud.
And in my experience synching got improved a lot. Yes, re-buying sucks, but that's the developers choice. That's not related to iCloud at all. Plus, the new version works better for me, so kudos to 1Password to improving their product - and charging for it seems to work, I paid them lots of money and still am a happy customer(;

- caycep 12y agoHm, odd, it's still in my preferences as an option?
- preek 12y agoIt is back in the new version, yes. But not anymore with the deprecated API from Dropbox. When you were a user of 1Password v3, they made that very transparent and also wrote[1] about it on their blog. Also note that 1Password needs you to sync via Dropbox for secondary vaults. 1. http://blog.agilebits.com/2013/08/08/1password-3-dropbox-sync-faq/ http://blog.agilebits.com/2013/08/08/1password-3-dropbox-syn...
- yock 12y ago1Password dropped support for Dropbox synching of the main vault some time ago. Wat? Not only is it still supported, but they recently squished a bug that caused Dropbox syncing to get disabled. Does your copy of the app not allow Dropbox syncing? Where did you hear about this?
- preek 12y agoThe OP mentioned that he _had_ to buy the AppStore version. That was back when 1Password switched from v3 to v4. Then, they also disabled the legacy Dropbox support. They made that very transparent and also wrote[1] about it on their blog.

- jmuguy 12y agoI think you're mistaken about Dropbox sync, I'm still using it as well as several friends and family that I've turned onto 1Password.
