Vault termination
It seems like Dropbox is about to do it again. After removing the strong integration with Google Docs, causing many customers to all of a sudden have to work with links instead of documents, Dropbox...
Hey guys!
Thanks for showing your interest in Dropbox Vault.
To concentrate our efforts on further improving our existing security features and building new capabilities around advanced data protection, weâve made the decision to discontinue Dropbox Vault.
From March 4th Dropbox Vault will no longer be available. If youâre currently using your Vault, that folder will automatically turn into a standard Dropbox folder, that doesnât require a PIN to access. The files in your folder will remain the same.
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.
I hope this clarifies!
PCloud does integrate with the Mac finder, and I like the fact that it gives you a separate drive of storage (especially good on MacBooks), but yes, they donât have a lot of bells and whistles. Alternately, you could create your own vault by using an open source application called âcrypromatorâ which is easy to use and is a workaround to Dropboxâs Vault loss.
True, but for me this has become a wider issue than loosing key functionality. I just donât trust Dropbox anymore, after their non-answer to the question as to how they can just âturn offâ supposedly private encryption.
Anyway, my decision is taken and my Dropbox has been migrated to PCloud already. By the way: apparently Dropbox does not allow you to delete your account (and with that the content of your bin) until your subscription runs out. Another clear violation of data ownership. As a user I should be able to delete my account and data at any given time.
