Mike – Thanks for the comment! DropBox is a known quantity, not specifically a weak link. Let’s assume they’re a so-so company and their security is only so -so (I think they’re great though!). This “so-so” security is totally OK because KeePass implements real encryption way above and beyond what DropBox will ever provide. For us, DropBox is less secure storage and more a rich man’s rsync between our work computer, home computer and smartphone. It even has a web interface so we can use it on a friends computer with out installing anything. A very rich man’s rsync, indeed!

Drop box does not seem very secure to me. What would stop someone from hacking dropbox and then they have your password file?
