How do I delete or remove Vault?

I created a Vault with a pin and am able to use it... I just don't want it. How can I remove it from my Dropbox? It's cluttering up my file list.

Thanks for your feedback on this, everyone.

 

The team is working on making the Dropbox Vault deletable in the future, but there isn't a specific timeline we can share with you right now.

 

We will make sure to let you all know though when there's more information available.

 

In the meantime, if you have any other questions, don't hesitate to get back to us. Thanks again!

there has to be a way to get my files out of the "vault"? I am trying to copy it to my desktop but it wont let me; i also tried to remove the file, but it wont let me. It is useless because I need the files to continue working on those files!

    Hi jjjjjmnmn, could you try moving the files out of the Vault via the Dropbox site to another location on your Dropbox account? When it syncs on your machine, try moving it to the location you wanted to move it to.

     

    Let me know how it goes!

    I agree.  Had no idea could not get back out of Vault.  Any information that anyone comes up with to save these files would be appreciated.  Thank you.

    Please let us remove the Vault. It's adding to my already cluttered sidebar in Windows 10. 

     

    Get with it Dropbox!
