I am using dropbox version 169.4.5684. This is what the vaults look like in my Explorer.

Hi DeepBlue71, thank you for your screenshot! 

 

Can you try to remove the 2 first Vaults, the one that don't appear to be syncing? Do you face any issues when trying to do so?

    When I restarted my computer this morning, Vault #3 was gone. I tried deleting vault #2 and could not. So I changed into dropbox online and could see the two vaults there. One looked "official" with the icon. The other looked like a normal file. So I deleted the "file", leaving the "official" vault untouched.

     

    When I changed by to the Explorer, I could see that Vault #1 had now disappeared.

     

    I tested Vault #2 and it seems to work (enter the pin, upload files into it, etc.)

     

    So the problem seems to be solved.
