Secure and hidden files

It would be a great idea to implement an extra layer of protection to be able to hide certain files or be able to lock them with a set password within the app since I experience multiple users on multiple machines of mine being able to access most of the files. Therefor I would really benefit from a folder I can lock with my personal password and therefor hide sensitive information or files that should not be accessed by other users but me. I would suggest calling it something like Vault or Hidden Files. This could also be done via integration through the apps, let people decide if they want to install the vault feature or not.

    Hello BullseyeBE​,

    Dropbox actually used to have a feature just like you described, called Dropbox Vault. It has been recently discontinued. 

    Hope this helps,

      Hey DBoxTips​

      I am aware that his feature used to exist therefor I am posting it in ideas so that they might bring it back. 

      Thanks either way. 

       

      Kind regards, Bullseye

    That makes sense. I upvoted your idea because I loved and used the Dropbox Vault feature myself.

    Thanks,
