Dropbox syncing, a way to keep all of your devices in sync using Dropbox.

When you first sign in to an mSecure account or create an account in mSecure, you will be asked to choose which sync option you would like to use. You can choose the Dropbox sync option at this point. You can also change your sync option at any point in the Sync Settings in mSecure.

Important: mSecure will not sync with the previous versions of mSecure. However, mSecure can restore from a .msim backup file created in the previous versions. Please refer to these articles to learn how to transfer your information from mSecure 3 or 4 to mSecure.
