Dropbox sync to iPhone app

<div class="IPBDescription">Trying to get my passwords over to my iPhone app</div>I have reard through the forums up and down trying to figure this out but cannot seem to find a way. I opened my 1password program and backed it up and moved that backup file over to the dropbox folder named 1password. I even exported all logins and moved it over to the dropbox and still nothing syncs. Am I not moving the right thing over to Dropbox? Is there something more I am supposed to be doing with this dropbox in the settings if there are settings after the install?



I have the iPhone app for 1pass installed and it tells me "failure to find data file on Dropbox."



Not sure what else to try...

    You should move your keychain (not a backup file) to Dropbox.



    Your keychain is a folder named 1Password.agilekeychain.

    vip4me, welcome to the forum!



    You can read all about setting up Dropbox sync'ing in the following documents.



    The "big picture":

    [list]

    [*][url="http://help.agile.ws/1Password3/cloud_syncing_with_dropbox.html"][i]Automatic Sync'ing Using Dropbox[/i][/url]

    [/list]

    Windows-specific instructions:

    [*][i]Tutorials[/i] - [url="http://help.agile.ws/1Password_Windows/tutorials.html#setting_up_dropbox_sync"][i]Setting up Dropbox sync[/i][/url]

    [/list]

    We ask that you take a few minutes to read the "Introduction," "Getting Started," and "Tutorials" sections of the user's guide. They're short, and they'll give you the information you need to get up to speed quickly. As you use 1Password for Windows, we believe you'll find the "FAQ" section to be a useful resource.
