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!
Thanks Setanta!
It surely is very frustrating as now I do not have any clue if Vault was accessed by someone and then they removed themselves from the folder (maybe even have downloaded the contents - worst case scenario). As I only became aware of it once the folder was already permanently deleted so couldn't trace back the events of the folder either as they could have reflected if someone had joined/ accessed it. Maybe you could do that by selecting the folder and tracing the events log and maybe you can see if someone has joined/ accessed it.
Secondly, dropbox should also send out a receipt email to the sender/ invitee that they have shared a folder with someone (account details) similar to the automated invitation email they send to the receiver, at least this way we have a proof that the folder was shared (when and with who).
Does not sound so secure the whole thing!!
Thanks for that suggestion Kashif, I'll check it.
You welcome! Kindly do confirm if it was only shared with you so atleast this way I can also be at ease that it might be the same case with my Vault. Thanks
