Edit files in vault on Windows
I've looked into new Dropbox plus features this morning, tried out the new Vault feature. I've realized that, when you are on Windows, there is no way to edit the files you have in the Vault. You can...

Dropbox Community ModeratorHi Silviu C.; thanks for posting on our Community and trying out our new Vault feature.
It's true that our vault can only be opened from dropbox.com and the Dropbox mobile app at this time while there's also an entry point from the desktop that will take you to dropbox.com.
If you'd like to suggest a change to the feature, I'd recommend posting your idea in the following section of our Community so other users can upvote it to show their interest and share their own thoughts on this:
I hope this helps a tad and please let me know if you have anything else to ask or add; I'll be happy to follow up.
I noticed this same issue. Some files I'd put in vault are not ones I would edit, but there are some that I'd like to edit daily, yet still have the extra security of vault. I thought I was missing something so glad to see that this was posted.
I agree; have the same problem with a file excel containing financial data which I just moved to Vault. It would be helpful to be able to edit it, at least occasionally from within Vault, but thta's not possible. Hope it will be soon.
Can you tell me how to move files or folders out of the vault?
You can do that in a browser on your computer. Go to the Dropbox website, Log In, then click "All Files", look for the "Vault" entry and click on it, then enter your PIN. When you are in the Vault, every file or folder in the list will have a "..." button on the right-hand side of the file name. Click on that, select "Move" from the menu and choose a location that is outside the Vault, like the Dropbox root folder.
