Password safe file location

I use the App "Password Safe" for my passwords. I use Dropbox to sync my password data file between phone and computers. Where is the data file located so I can point my password manager to the proper file to open it.

    Thats something you will need to ask the developer of the software you are using I'm afraid (i.e. Password Safe). It'll probably be installed somewhere in the 'Apps' folder.

      To better explain: My passwords are kept in a file called "Johns.Dat" . That file is on my computer in the Dropbox folder called "Data" My question is "Where does Dropbox keep that file on my Galaxy S22+ so I can point my "Password Safe" App to it. I used to be able to go to Dropbox, locate the file in the Data folder, click on the data file and it would automatically load the Password Safe app so I could then access my passwords. It will no longer open the Password Safe app, so I need to point my app to the data file. So where is it located.

        Dropbox stores offline files in a part of the file system that is not user accessible.

        You'll need to download the file to your phone's storage and then open the file from there.
