How do you add a password to files and/or folders to keep it secured?
So, Dropbox got rid of the vault feature last month. The question now becomes, how do you add a password to files and/or folders to keep it secured? At a minimum, Windows lets you password protect a file, so if Dropbox can't even do that now what's the point of it? Additionally, I am logged out of Dropbox on my computer, but can still access my Dropbox drive from My Computer. With the vault gone, how do I make sure that these files are only accessible either on Dropbox website or only if I'm logged in?
What alternatives do we have following the Vault discontinuation?
I like keeping my most sensitive documents inside this PIN protected folder, knowing that anyone who has access (or gains access) to my Mac will not have access to the files inside. Now that Dropbox is removing this critical feature, what can users do to protect their most sensitive documents? The suggestions provided by Dropbox -- such as enabling 2-factor authentication -- are unhelpful because they do not secure the folder from someone who may have access to the machine, for example a child or a co-worker.
