If you save your databases on Dropbox, Password Depot uses the following default path:

\Apps\Password Depot\

WARNING: It is strongly recommended not to create this path manually. Instead, log in to Dropbox with Password Depot and allow the program to create the path, in case it does not yet exist. Once Password Depot has created the directory/folder, you can upload your existing password databases through Windows Explorer or your browser.

NOTE: Whenever you deposit your databases on a cloud service, your confidential data always "touch" the data medium of the cloud service in AES 256-bit encrypted format – never unencrypted. Your databases are always and only decrypted locally.
