Retain Vault!
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 ...
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.
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!
Or one more step:
Cancel DropBox and find a new program that:
has an encrypted cloud base for photos & videos
able to hide / vault protect photos & videos
edit/organize/ search/view by titles given and displayed without opening file
Iâd âlikeâ except that Iâve been happy with DropBox until now. Itâs not perfect and Iâd like to think all these comments will lead to improvements, but if not, youâre right, we should look for alternatives (at the moment Iâm using an Ironkey but thatâs far from perfect itself).
