Dropbox selective sync

1password fan 11

<div class="IPBDescription">for limited drive space on individual machines</div>With 1Password for iOS you can link to your Dropbox account without having all your Dropbox files on your iOS device. Is it possible to do the same with 1Password for Mac OS X?



I bought a new MacBook Air but the hard drive is too small for my entire Dropbox to be useful there, however I would still like to keep my 1Password logons synced. Is there a way to do that without installing Dropbox on the MacBook Air?



Thanks for the great software!

You don't have to sync everything to your mac anymore if you use the latest build of Dropbox (available in their forums). So you could just turn off syncing for the stuff you really don't need on your Air. But as far as I know, you have to have the keychain file on your local machine to use the desktop versions of 1Password.

Thanks, I will see if I can figure out how to only synch certain files with Dropbox. It sounds like a solution for me and I didn't know that was possible.

Welcome to the forums, 1Password fan 11! The [url="http://forums.dropbox.com/topic.php?id=27419&replies=161"]latest beta version of Dropbox[/url] allows "selective sync." Please let us know how it goes! <img src='http://forum.agile.ws/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/skype_smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':-)' />
