When will "Vault" become a regular folder?

so today is the day that I would not need a pin to open the  vault folder -- but 21 hours into 3/4/2025 I still need a pin to open the vault --- when?

Hey Frank P E. thanks for posting here!

It's true that starting March 4, 2025, your Dropbox Vault folder will be automatically converted into a regular Dropbox folder that doesn’t require a PIN to open.

I believe this process should take a few hours to apply to all of the customers using this feature, but I can't give you a precise timeline. Just wanted to check if the same behavior remains at the moment. 

Keep me posted, and we'll take it from there!
