Dropbox StaffHey edopix, welcome to our Community!
To concentrate our efforts on further improving our existing security features and building new capabilities around advanced data protection, we’ve made the decision to discontinue Dropbox Vault.
From March 4th Dropbox Vault will no longer be available. If you’re currently using your Vault, that folder will automatically turn into a standard Dropbox folder, that doesn’t require a PIN to access. The files in your folder will remain the same.
I hope this clarifies!
Hi Megan,
thank you for your reply. The situation is clear, but the decision by the company is an awful one.
The Vault is a great feature, much used for its extra layer of security. It makes no sense to drop it. Users clearly like and use the feature.
Also, it’s astonishing that Photobox has access to the contents of our secure folder, to move it.
I hope the company re-evaluates this incorrect decision.
