There's no export/import required.Īt this moment, we have no plans to change from CloudKit to iCloud Drive. That's how 1Password's Folder Sync works on Android, it can sync with any folders on your Android storage, so you can install Dropbox, Google Drive, to sync folders to local storage and 1Password can then access it any time it wants to update. Apps can have a protected access to the local file system. There's no "tap here to save to your iCloud Drive" each time you make a change. It also means when you make changes to your 1Password data, it's done. We use CloudKit because it means when you open 1Password on a new device, you're up and running as you've signed in to your iCloud account. We can import and export manually if we want but it doesn't provide a great experience for us. Basically, apps are importing and exporting each time you have to make a change with you invoking that function. They cannot escape their own sandbox, they can import and open files from iCloud Drive with your permission but that does not mean they can just make changes to it on their own, they need to do so with your permission. IOS is locked down, each app do not have access to a file system. That's what we do with Dropbox in 1Password and that's how CloudKit (iCloud sync) sort of works. What you can do is use Dropbox API to make calls to their service and pull data from your Dropbox account. They're designed to feel the same way but they function completely differently.įor Dropbox, we're not using their app, you cannot use the Dropbox app to sync anything on the iOS platform.
I use both and they appear to function in the same way. It would be awesome if Apple could provide these implementations but we don't anticipate them doing this anytime soon. There is no production-ready CloudKit implementation available on Windows nor Android at this moment, Apple has a method using CloudKit JS APIs but it is not meant for production apps, only for web apps. You can opt-out of CloudKit, switch to Folder Sync on macOS to sync to iCloud Drive but you can only use WLAN Sync on macOS to sync your data to the iOS devices. CloudKit is what allows for seamless syncing between all of your Apple platforms using just your iCloud account, it is not related to iCloud Drive which is used to store documents, not for specific app's sync data.ġPassword on macOS and iOS uses CloudKit ( which we call iCloud), which means you cannot reuse your iCloud account with Windows nor Android at this moment. However, iOS does not support syncing directly from iCloud Drive because Apple uses something else for syncing, CloudKit.
This means you can use iCloud Drive to sync the same vaults between macOS, Windows, and Android if Apple ever releases the iCloud Drive app that could export to the device's local storage. 1Password will then monitor that vault and keep it in sync.
1Password 7 for Windows support Folder sync, you can save the vault anywhere on your drive, including your iCloud drive.
