User-selectable auto-lock time period for Dropbox Vault

If you are doing a complex task on files that you keep in the Dropbox Vault then the current fixed maximum time limit of 20 minutes is too short and can cause problems if you miss the deadline to close all your files before it "auto-locks. 

It would greatly increase the flexibility in using this otherwise useful facility if the user could set a wider time-frame before auto-lock enforced closure.
