Is there another way to protect a folder in my Dropbox account without Vault?
Since the disappearance of the Vault I have two folders sitting in my Dropbox that I do not want my children to have access to. They want to look through their family and holiday photos though, which I also store in Dropbox. Protecting one folder with my phone code doesn't work as they have that (and I want them to have it). Is there really no alternative to permanently protecting a folder in my Dropbox from prying eyes?
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.
