# General Preferences

To access 1Password’s General preferences, run 1Password and click 1Password > Preferences, then the General pane. Here you can find data file options and sidebar view preferences. Below are explanations for the features and options found in this pane.

## Data File Location

All your confidential information is stored in an Agile Keychain file and encrypted using your Master Password. The file is named 1Password.agilekeychain and is stored in the ~/Library/Application Support/1Password folder. You can use the options here to reveal the location of your Agile Keychain file in the Finder, choose a different data file, or move your existing data file to a different location—perhaps to something like a Dropbox folder for syncing your Agile Keychain across your Macs.

## Items to Display in Sidebar

The sidebar contains several sections of items, some of which may be hidden in these preferences. Each of the Vault categories may be hidden individually; the Folders and Tags groups and the collection of Generated Passwords at the bottom may be hidden as well. Simply deselect the categories that you wish not to appear in 1Password’s sidebar.
