    If you don’t want it to sync, do you want to move the 1Password file out of your Dropbox folder? Are you trying to store it on another cloud service, or just on your local machine?
     
    If you don’t want it to sync at all or not use 1Password again, you could technically delete the entire 1Password folder via the Dropbox site. Obviously this might delete your password database, so I recommend caution if this isn’t what you want.
     
    Let me know more so I can assist further.

    Hi Jay, sorry for the delay replying, I did not realize you had made this post. I already went to the link you sent a while back and went to settings, etc. and unlinked it. I am still synching other stuff via dropbox, I just wanted to not sink 1Password. I have succeeded in that, I think. the thigs that's really wierd is, my Dropbox folder still has 1Password in it in a folder called Apps. If I understand you correctly, I could drag the icon of 1P out of the apps folder and trash it. Right? Is that correct? But as you say, that might trash the 1P databaase on every computer. So, that's something I need to ask 1P about. I would attacha a screen shot but it seems too difficult. I should have logged in before writing this. I will try again

        Can you attach an image using this method?
         
         
        Regarding deleting or unlinking the 1Password app out of the apps page on the Dropbox site, this will remove the database for all other computers that sync with 1Password, causing potential issues.
         
        If you could explain exactly what you’re looking for, then I can assist.
         
        For instance, do you simply not want 1Password to sync with one specific machine? Do you not want it to sync to any computer? Do you want to delete the data and the app itself?
