Where Does Ditto Store Clipboard History?
Ditto files every clipboard clip in a SQLite database whose path shows in Options and supports variables.
Last updated
Ditto's memory is one database file holding clips, images, and history. The exact path is user configurable, which is why every guide starts with checking Options rather than naming a folder.
The default sits in Roaming AppData and suits most users untouched. Power users redirect it to synced folders with machine variables so histories follow them without collisions. Exports handle selective moves: pick clips, export, import elsewhere.
Where Ditto stores this, by platform
%APPDATA%\Ditto\Ditto.db
Default database location. Confirm the live path in Options, General, since it is user configurable and may point at a synced folder.
Frequently asked questions
How do I back up the clip database?
Right click the tray icon and use the database backup and restore commands. That handles open handles correctly. Manual file copies need Ditto fully exited first or the backup splits mid write.
Can the database live in Dropbox?
Set the path in Options, General, to a synced folder with variables like %computername% for per machine files. The hyperlink under the path box previews the resolved location before committing.
