Some would think this as a normal use-case for a cloud-drive.
It's more than just that since the Android and IOS 1Password apps can sync from Dropbox without Dropbox being installed on the device. They're synching using the dropbox API in those cases I'd think.
1Password's keychain uses resource forks I think, which makes it inherently not cross-platform (or rather, not cross-filesystem) and could explain the incompatibilities.
Not sure what could be the issue with DMGs, though, since that exact issue is pretty much the reason for their existence.

But since 1Password backups seems to be using a format that Box.com won't upload, they are rejecting the files with this error:
It also means that you can't save .dmg-files.
I don't understand these limitations, Box.coms software feels rock-solid, and then I hit these strange limitations.
Dropbox on the other hand seems to allow all the filetypes I have thrown at them.

Dropbox also has problems with OSX Package files.
Rubitrack is one that caught me out - http://www.rubitrack.com/faq.html
"This is a problem known to Dropbox for many years and it affects not just rubiTrack but hundreds of Mac apps that use a package file format."
