What Is, What Could Be, and The Art of Yearning For What Never Was

Where EXACTLY is the Marvin 3 sync file in Dropbox?

I have linked Dropbox and got sync set up in Marvin 3, and it works great. I'd like to know exactly where the Marvin 3 sandbox file is, but I cannot find it anywhere in my Dropbox.
