    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, 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!

Guessing its a cost cutting exercise as Vault is an add on to their Plus and Pro packages. Its a shame as there are other Dropbox apps that needed to be culled first before Vault.

You would of thought they could of at least posted an explanation?

As I mentioned in another thread, Dropbox's record when it comes to data breaches hasn't been good so the extra layer of Vault security was a bonus.
With this Vault security layer now discontinued I will also be fully migrating over to another solution, probably OneDrive. 

The trust in Dropbox's management has been taking hits with their dubious decisions lately, this is the final straw!

Edited to say ..... Found a Dropbox Support answer below from another forum...

Reads to me that they possibly have found security issues with their software and pulled it before Vault was compromised ....
