Man you aren't thinking deep enough. Just set up your own FTP server!

The truth is that my grandmother needs a password manager and she barely understands what minimizing a window does. "Just store your vault in dropbox" is friction and that matters much more to the huge majority of users than the fact that the vault is stored on a cloud service.

> Dropbox... is friction

Yes, completely agree. Dropbox sync has lots of gotchas and edge cases, and was particularly bad if you edited files on multiple systems (my workstation and laptop, for instance -- I use both interchangeably depending on what I'm doing).

I can understand why 1Password built their own sync service instead of playing whack-a-mole with different cloud storage providers' quirks.
