1PW iPhone sync to?

tuni12

Need some additional opinions - what are the advantages/disadvantages of syncing my iPhone 4S with 1PW on it to my existing iMac Dropbox or just to my iMac? The iPhone 1PW gives me the option to do either, I believe and that is what is confusing to me.



If I select to sync the phone to the iMac would I just create a separate additional folder or file and a path to it?



My only concern is that if my iPhone disappears, and if its synced to the DropBox, someone would have access to all my 1PW data in my iMac too.



What do you think? Suggestions and opinions would be welcome.

Right, well you have the option to Sync via Dropbox or straight from your Mac, as you say.



I sync mine via Dropbox, the reason being that my computer and iPhone spend a lot of time off of WiFi, and that is currently the only way you can sync the iPhone with your Mac.



As for security, you could add a passcode to your iPhone, but the 1Password.keychain is encrypted and you can't see any passwords without entering in a passcode and password. So even if your iPhone does go walkies, nobody will be able to see any of the information saved by 1Password.
