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 <a href="http://keepass.info/help/base/security.html" rel="nofollow">real encryption</a> way above and beyond what DropBox will ever provide. For us, DropBox is less secure storage and more a rich man's <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rsync" rel="nofollow">rsync</a> 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! Mike – Thanks for the comment!

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