Please retain Vault! Why is it getting deprecated?
There are so many reasons to continue Vault but a key one is that the Dropbox folder on a PC (and a Mac?) is not protected by Windows or iOs in any normal way. Vault made protection possible for key files.
But of course being able to protect the entire Dropbox folder on a PC or Mac would be an even better idea!
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.
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.
There are also steps that you can take to enhance the security of your account.
These steps include:
- Setting up 2-step authentication
- Creating a strong password
- Conducting a security checkup
- Protecting shared files and folders with passwords
I hope this clarifies!
