Backup, Passwords, Vault features - Safe to delete these files?
Is it safe to delete these files if I don't plan on using these features? I use Dropbox almost exclusively from the CLI, and only to sync between computers, I don't use any extra features.

Hi zacanger; how are you today?
As you noticed, we’ve recently introduced some new features which are now available to all Dropbox Plus customers, namely Dropbox Passwords, Vault and Computer Backup.
For ease of setup and access, we added entry points for these features to your Dropbox account so you may see icons for these features in your Dropbox folder on your computer, the Dropbox desktop app, Dropbox mobile app, and on dropbox.com, however, these icons don’t take up any additional space in your Dropbox account.
Moving on to your concern, if you have not set up any of these new features, then you can delete the entry points to these features from your Dropbox account which can be done from the Dropbox folder on your computer, the Dropbox desktop app, Dropbox mobile apps, or from dropbox.com.
Deleting the entry point does not remove the feature from your account, and if you change your mind, you can re-enable the features at any time.
I hope this helps and please let me know if you have any follow up questions.
