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 files. But of course being able to protect the entire Dropbox folder on a PC or Mac would be an even better idea!Solved1.7KViews14likes33Comments
Vault termination
It seems like Dropbox is about to do it again. After removing the strong integration with Google Docs, causing many customers to all of a sudden have to work with links instead of documents, Dropbox is now planning for the termination of Vault (end of March '25). Did you like the function that allowed you to keep some files extra safe in a fully encrypted and PIN-locked container on your dropbox ? Yes ? Well tough for you! Remarkably, Dropbox now claims it will automatically move the files you have stored in your vault to a normal folder on your regular dropbox. Oh really? I guess that means Dropbox has full access to my vault then, and can just move files around as they see fit ? That is quite alarming for a functionality that is supposed to be fully encrypted. Really Dropbox, this is NOT how you obtain customer satisfaction or loyalty. I've been using your service for about 20 years now, but I'm actively checking out alternatives.Solved4.4KViews30likes73Comments
Can you keep the Dropbox Vault please?
Very Dissatisfied At Hearing About The Vault Being Discontinued. The Vault is an extremely handy extra security feature, adding another layer of security. I’m very dismayed to hear that Dropbox, has astonishingly, come to the decision to drop this feature! It makes zero sense. I hope that the company will reevaluate this shocking decision and keep the Vault in play. Many Thanks, Edmond945Views12likes8Comments
Please don't deprecate Dropbox Vault.
PLEASE reconsider discontinuing Vault. I really like and use the feature. I remain logged in on a few devices and enjoy that ease of functionality. However, there are some types of files that I prefer to protect a little extra. Yes, I could further encrypt, but that adds extra steps. Please Keep Vault!Solved203Views2likes1Comment
User-selectable auto-lock time period for Dropbox Vault
If you are doing a complex task on files that you keep in the Dropbox Vault then the current fixed maximum time limit of 20 minutes is too short and can cause problems if you miss the deadline to close all your files before it "auto-locks. It would greatly increase the flexibility in using this otherwise useful facility if the user could set a wider time-frame before auto-lock enforced closure.58Views0likes1Comment
Vault opening time more flexible.
I would like the vault opening time in Dropbox to be more flexible. I often work on documents stored in the vault for several hours, but the vault automatically closes after just a few minutes. This makes it inefficient, as I have to download the document, work on it outside the vault, and then reopen the vault to save my changes. It would be much more convenient if I could extend the vault's closing time to suit my working needs, allowing me to keep working on the document without interruptions.186Views2likes2Comments
Vault disappeared on iPhone app after last update
I’m running iOS 17.1 and DropBox app version 352.2.2. Since the last DropBox app update Vault is no longer accessible. I’ve been able to access it on the desktop site only. I’ve cleared the cache and signed out but Vault does not show up. Is this a known issue with this version or is it a feature going away on the app?3.5KViews0likes17Comments
