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.
Iâve attempted on numerous occasion to raise a formal complaint with DB around exactly the things mention in this thread but they simply donât care and offer no means to do so. I too paid for the year (recently) and feel the removal of the key functionality should warrant a rethink and also compensation - they refuse and only offer a full refund - I have 3Tb of data and moving is not going to be easy but with their inability to listen or care about customers it is something I need to plan and action.
The worst part from my is the standard PR noise about security - the simply donât understand they have made this system less secure by removing Vault - they are so blind to reality it is untrue, I would bet good money that this decision to remove functionality has been made by the spreadsheet brigade for financial reason. It by any product team or engineering team and certainly not by any team conducting user research - UCD is definitely not a thing at DB!
