Dropbox syncing and then syncing again

Hi there,



I found in the recent beta, that when 1P syncs, no matter if after startup or after I made a change on the iPhone, it starts syncing and after that it immediately starts syncing again, before finishing.



Is that intended behaviour?

    Hi Michael,



    Yes, you're seeing two processes occurring, only one is related to syncing. Because the data structure in 1Password 4 is different then the one used for Dropbox syncing, the first part is the conversion from 1Password 4 into the 1Password 3's agilekeychain format and then it uploads to Dropbox. For downloads, it syncs the files down and then converts it into the 1Password 4 structure.



    iCloud has similar format, so it skips the conversion process and it is a bit quicker than Dropbox.



    I hope this helps, please let me know if you have other questions.



    Thanks!
