How can I keep my files secure without Dropbox Vault? Any alternatives?
Hi to all the community!
I have just received an e-mail from Dropbox telling that the "Vault" folder/service is going to be discontinued from March the xxth (can't remember the exact date).

Hey Impronta, thanks for taking the time to reach out to the Dropbox Community.
I want to start by saying that we really appreciate your feedback on this.
Indeed, starting March 4th, 2025, Dropbox Vault will no longer be available. However, Dropbox is steadfast in its commitment to safeguarding your data.
Our applications and infrastructure are regularly tested for security vulnerabilities, and hardened to enhance security and protect against attacks.
If your files ever do get corrupted by ransomware, there are ways to help with that. You can take a look at this article for more info.
PS. There are also steps that you can take to enhance the security of your account. These steps include:
- Setting up 2-step authentication
- Creating a strong password
- Conducting a security checkup
- Protecting shared files and folders with passwords
Let me know if you have any other questions.
I agree. This is terrible news and I am now searching for Dropbox alternatives despite loving the platform and having used it for so long I cannot even recall when I started. The Vault functionality was perfect and worked so well for what I needed. I want to be able to have an extra layer of security for certain folders for a variety of reasons. No decent explanation as to why this is happening. Very unhappy. But I am off as soon as I find something that ticks the boxes. It is not Dropbox anymore.
