Personally I neither use nor need the icons, so it's no loss to me, and it makes a big difference. Plus this meant having to upload 20+MB every day versus <1MB. Why worry about space with today's hard drive spaces? I have 1Password set to backup to my Dropbox account, which is limited to a total of 5GB. I also unchecked the box next to "Automatically download icons and previews for new Logins." After I did that, the backup size went from 21.5MB to 889KB! Tap on a file in the Dropbox section to restore its contents. If disk space is a concern, the icons and previews can be deleted using 1Password > Preferences > General > Remove all icons and previews. DataVault will display all available backups by location (Device, iCloud, Dropbox). With 600+ items in my agilekeychain, this quickly added up.įortunately, this is easily fixed. (These can be found in the 1Password.agilekeychain/a/default/thumb folder.) Each preview image take about 100K.
BACKUP 1PASSWORD TO DROPBOX SOFTWARE LICENSE
I contacted 1Password's excellent support staff who correctly diagnosed that the increase was related to the preview images which are used for Login and Software License icons. And wasn't that when you switched from 1Password version 2 to 1Password version 3? Yes it was.

Wait? Did you say August 28th? Isn't that when Snow Leopard was released? Yes it was. On August 28th, the backups were 1MB, and on August 29th, the backups were suddenly 21MB. I'm not usually one to comment on such things, but we weren't talking about "love handles," 1Password's backups had gone from 1MB to 21MB literally overnight. The other day I noticed that 1Password had gained a lot of weight, specifically around the backups area. Combined with Dropbox, I can have all of my login information synced to all of my Macs. Click View history to see the version history for that backup. Click View status to see the live progress of that backup. 1Password is one of my very favorite and most essential Mac utilities. From the Dropbox Backup window, you can: Click View backed up files to open a browser window and see all files and folders in that backup.
