How can I keep my files secure without Dropbox Vault? Any alternatives?

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.
Hi, I am also considering alternatives to Dropbox because Vault is too important to me. I'm sorry because I've been using paid Dropbox since 2009 and, although it still has several problems, I was fine with it.
I'm using good old Veracrypt, the successor of Truecrypt. I'm sure there are other alternatives. Veracrypt takes a little learning.
