Remote access
It's possible connecting and synchronizing to my files stored in Dropbox from remote computer, without Dropbox app installed? If positive response what protocol/parameters I can use?

balman, It's not forbidden a user to write some script for instance. 😉 You don't have to be a developer.
Many integrations (including Dropbox) exist on many programs. If such exists in your password manager, that would be the best choice. There are external integrations (behaving as protocols) that are available by 3-rd parties (usually free) for almost every proprietary protocol. To use such extensions your password manager should support this way of work (unlikely, but you can check in the manager documentation). Another way may be using a shared link. In such a way your program would be able read the database file only (i.e. impossible to add something). If it's fine for you, create shared link to your database file and put in the URL field raw link variant (ending "?dl=0" should be replaced to "?raw=1"). Again, check if your manager can work in this way.
If nothing from the above works for you, installing the application and keep in sync just a single folder where the database resides in is an option also (using Selective Sync, not Smart Sync).
As Mark mentioned, common protocols (other than mentioned before, like FTP but not only) are not supported by Dropbox.
Good luck.
