HELP! Vault won't give me access!!!
Hello,
I just set up Vault yesterday. I put in my most sensitive documents. I accessed them today and then "poof" I'm not allowed to access them. I can put in my correct password and it lets me in to the next stage but doesn't show my folders in Vault and says "you don't have permission to edit this folder. Contact a folder admin to get access" I noticed this first when trying to upload something to Vault on my phone, the phone couldn't access it anymore, then on my desktop. I can lock Vault and then unlock it fine.
It appears there is no longer phone support from Dropbox and the nobody was available on chat so they asked me to send an email, which I did. I need this fixed asap and need some support from Dropbox. Very frustrating.
I'm worried all my most important files are gone!!!

I'm having the same issue. I'm trying to access my vault files and it does not load in all my devices even in the website. When I tried opening the vault. In the app, it is said "Restricted access. You're not currently a member of this folder. For access, ask your admin." I cannot find a reason for this to happen. I am updated with payment as well and the next billing cycles is still due next week.

Vault shows no access. It takes me as far as entering the pin, but then gets stuck in a loop. Please help!
- Walk Humongous5 years agoExplorer | Level 4Mine seems to have corrected itself after a few hours. After having the issue I checked with a friend who uses Vault too and he had the same problem so it wasnât just me and I see others here had the issue. Is everyone cleared up? Can someone from Dropbox confirm it was/is a known issue? Iâm a bit frightened to use Vault at all now after having this happen within 48hrs of me trying the functionality. I thought I lost my most important docs, but thankfully it was only temporary. I have now moved them out of Vault until we figure this out and we get an explanation. In the time I was locked out I was delayed with work by not having access to certain business documents what were stuck in there.

Are you all still having the problem?

Yes. The problem still have not been resolved. The chat feature of dropbox support is not very helpful. They just said they'll forward the concern to the team and ended the chat. I also emailed them, no useful reply.
