Vault in Windows File Explorer
I created Vault folder on dropbox.com. But it has been more than a week but I don't see Vault folder in Windows 10 File Explorer. Is there some setting necessary for the Vault folder to be visible on...

It seems to be working! There is an executable file Vault.dbx-vault that is appearing in the File Explorer which asks for the pin and then the Vault folder appears.

Megan Confirmed working here as well. Never noticed this Vault file before. I've always looked for a folder. Double-clicking the file results in a PIN prompt to unlock the vault, which then downloads the Vault folder. Locking the vault results in the folder disappearing and the file being recreated.
Perhaps it was always like this because I didn't reinstall or change anything in the app (though it could have auto-updated I suppose).

Very interesting...I did notice that file previously, and I believe I mentioned it somewhere in this thread, but being as careful (almost paranoid) as I am about double-clicking on any mysterious/unknown files, it never dawned on me to try that! Thanks to indkal 's post I felt more comfy trying it, and I am very merrily confirming that the Vault folder is now visible and working fine in File Explorer (Windows 10). Thank you indkal 🙂
